Abstract
A wind turbine rotary connection for two wind turbine components which are rotatable relative to each other, having a combined axial-radial bearing, wherein the axial-radial bearing has an axial bearing component and a separate radial bearing component. In particular it is proposed that the axial bearing component is in the form of a plain bearing component having a first convexly curved bearing surface and a corresponding second concavely curved bearing surface.
