Abstract
The invention relates to a generator of a wind power station or a wind turbine comprising a stator (1) and a rotor (2) in addition to a disc brake. The aim of the invention is to provide a solution making it possible to provide a generator and a disc brake having a compact structure. Said aim is achieved in such a manner that the disc brake is integrated into the generator, said disc brake comprising a brake disc (6) which is embodied on the inner side on the outer rotor (2) and brake blocks (7) which are embodied on the inner side on the stator (1).
Claims15
