Abstract
In accordance with a method for assembling a rotor bearing arrangement of a wind turbine, individual slide bearing pads are inserted in the bearing block. The bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads is then joined to a rotor block. During the joining of the rotor shaft and of the bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads, the rotor shaft may be installed on a rotor shaft support so as to be vertically upright. A rotor shaft flange of the rotor shaft may rest on the rotor shaft support. The bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads may be placed upon the rotor shaft vertically from above.

A method for assembling a rotor bearing arrangement of a wind turbine, comprising the method steps:
- providing a rotor shaft;
- providing a bearing block;
- providing individual slide bearing pads;
- inserting the slide bearing pads in the bearing block;
- and
- joining the rotor shaft and the bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads;
- wherein, during the joining of the rotor shaft and the bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads, the rotor shaft is installed on a rotor shaft support so as to be vertically upright, wherein a rotor shaft flange of the rotor shaft rests on the rotor shaft support and wherein the bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads is placed upon the rotor shaft vertically from above;
- wherein the bearing block is received on a receiving carriage of a receiving device and is guided by means of the receiving carriage, and wherein the receiving carriage is received on the receiving device by means of a linear guide so as to be displaceable in a vertical direction.
