Bearing assembly of a rotor of a wind turbine

A bearing assembly (10) of a rotor (11) of a wind turbine, for mounting the rotor (11) in a fixed housing (12), comprising:

• a plurality of rotor-side axial slide bearing segments (13), each configured to:
• engage on the rotor (11), rotate together with the rotor (11), and
• be supported against a sliding surface (14) of the housing (12);
• a plurality of housing-side axial slide bearing segments (15), each axially adjacent to a respective one of the rotor-side axial slide bearing segments (13) and configured to:
• engage on the housing (12), be fixed together with the housing (12), and
• be supported against a first sliding surface (16) of the rotor (11);
• and
• a plurality of housing-side radial slide bearing segments (21), each arranged radially inside the plurality of housing-side axial slide bearing segments (15) and the plurality of rotor-side axial slide bearing segments (13) and configured to:
• engage on the housing (12), be fixed together with the housing (12), and
• be supported against a second sliding surface (22) of the rotor (11),
• wherein the sliding surface (14) of the housing (12) is parallel to the first sliding surface (16) of the rotor (11), and
• wherein the second sliding surface (22) of the rotor (11) is perpendicular to the first sliding surface (16) of the rotor (11).
