Abstract
A bearing housing is configured as an end-side cover for a nacelle of a fluid-flow power plant and includes a cylindrical section having an interior and a bearing unit in the interior. The bearing unit includes at least one rolling-element bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring rotatably disposed with respect to each other about a bearing rotational axis and a plurality of rolling elements between the rings. A pressure line of the bearing intersects the bearing rotational axis at a first angle. An angled section of the housing extends from the cylindrical section of the housing at a second angle that is related to, and preferably substantially equal to, the first angle.

A bearing housing configured as an end-side cover for a nacelle of a fluid-flow power plant, the bearing housing comprising:
- a cylindrical section having an interior;
- a bearing unit in the interior, the bearing unit including a first rolling-element bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring rotatably disposed with respect to each other about a bearing rotational axis and defining a rolling space between them, and a first plurality of rolling elements disposed in the rolling space, a pressure line of the first bearing intersecting the bearing rotational axis at a first angle, and
- an angled section extending radially outward from the cylindrical section at a second angle, the second angle being related to the first angle.
