A rotor for a wind turbine with a pitch bearing unit

A rotor for a wind turbine, the rotor comprising a hub and at least one wind turbine blade, each wind turbine blade being mounted on the hub via a bearing unit, each bearing unit comprising:

• a C-shaped bearing element defining an axially arranged surface and two radially arranged surfaces, the C-shaped bearing element forming an inner ring of the bearing unit,
• a T-shaped bearing element comprising a protruding portion arranged between the radially arranged surfaces of the C-shaped bearing element, the T-shaped bearing element forming an outer ring of the bearing unit,
• a first raceway pair being formed between the protruding portion of the T-shaped bearing element and a first radially arranged surface of the C-shaped bearing element, a second raceway pair being formed between the protruding portion of the T-shaped bearing element and a second radially arranged surface of the C-shaped bearing element, and a third raceway pair being formed between the protruding portion of the T-shaped bearing element and the axially arranged surface of the C-shaped bearing element, wherein the hub is attached to one of the C-shaped bearing element and the T-shaped bearing element and a wind turbine blade is attached to the other of the C-shaped bearing element and the T-shaped bearing element, and
• wherein the C-shaped bearing element comprises a first bearing element part and a second bearing element part, and an interface between the first bearing element part and the second bearing element part is positioned in such a manner that the third raceway pair is formed between the protruding portion of the T-shaped bearing element and the first bearing element part of the C-shaped bearing element and the hub or the wind turbine blade is attached to the second bearing element part of the C-shaped bearing element.
