Horizontally and vertically adjustable bearing

A machine or generator bearing for horizontal and vertical adjustment, the bearing comprising:

• a bearing foot (3), to which a generator/machine block being connected by a fixing bolt (9) passing through a hole (7) in a foot (1a) of the gearbox/machine block (1) and being fixed and tightened by a thread (8) either in or on the bearing foot (3), so as to prevent lateral movement of a vertical axis that is defined by the fixing bolt and the thread either in or on the bearing foot;
• the bearing foot (3) having an adjustment bolt (12), for vertical adjustment of the generator/machine block, which is screwed vertically together with a threaded part (13) which is connected to the bearing foot (3), the adjustment bolt (12) having either a centrally arranged square or a polygonal opening (11) having a diameter which is greater than a diameter of the fixing bolt (9) for accommodating a corresponding polygonal key (14), by which the vertical-adjustment bolt (12) being screwable from above in and out through the hole (7) in the foot (1a) of the gearbox/machine block (1) via the fixing bolt (9) and thereby causing one of a lowering and a raising of the generator/machine block under load along the vertical axis;
• and
• the bearing foot (3) has a movable carriage (4), for horizontal adjustment of the generator/machine block, being provided with a hole (7b) and which is installed between the bearing foot (3) and the foot (1a) of the generator/machine block (1) and being adjustable horizontally perpendicular to the vertical axis, the carriage (4) and the gearbox/machine block (1) fixed thereto being movable horizontally, by a screw-connection device (19) mounted on the carriage, by screwing the screw-connection device (19) together with a threaded part (20), which is connected to the bearing foot (3) and holds and guides the carriage so that the carriage is horizontally movable to and fro with respect to the vertical axis;
• and
• a transverse-adjustment bushing (6) is inserted into the hole (7) in the foot (1a) of the generator/machine block with a close fit and projects beyond a lower surface of the foot (1a) of the generator/machine block (1) and thus fits exactly into the hole (7b) of the carriage (4) therebelow and thus fixes the generator/machine block.

A bearing for a generator of a wind turbines facilitating at least one of horizontal and vertical adjustment thereof, the bearing comprising:

• a bearing foot (3) to which a generator/machine block being connected by a fixing bolt (9) passing through a hole (7) in a foot (1a) of the gearbox/machine block (1) and being fixed and tightened by a thread (8) one of in and on the bearing foot (3), so as to prevent lateral movement of a vertical axis that is defined by the fixing bolt and the thread either in or on the bearing foot;
• the bearing foot (3) having an adjustment bolt (12), for vertical adjustment of the generator/machine block, being screwed vertically together with a threaded part (13) which is connected to the bearing foot (3), the adjustment bolt (12) having one of a centrally arranged square and polygonal opening (11) having a diameter which is greater than a diameter of the fixing bolt (9) for accommodating a corresponding polygonal key (14), by which the vertical-adjustment bolt (12) being screwable from above in and out through the hole (7) in the foot (1a) of the gearbox/machine block (1) via the fixing bolt (9), thereby so as to raise and lower the generator/machine block along the vertical axis;
• and
• the bearing foot (3) has a movable carriage (4), for horizontal adjustment of the generator/machine block, which is provided with a hole (7b) and which is installed between the bearing foot (3) and the foot (1a) of the generator/machine block (1) and being horizontally adjustable perpendicular to the vertical axis, the carriage (4) and the gearbox/machine block (1) fixed thereto being movable horizontally by a screw-connection device (19) mounted on the carriage by screwing the screw-connection device (19) together with a threaded part (20), which is connected to the bearing foot (3) and holds and guides the carriage so that the carriage is movable horizontally to and fro with respect to the vertical axis;
• and
• a transverse-adjustment bushing (6) is inserted into the hole (7b) in the carriage (4) with a close fit and projects beyond an upper carriage surface and fits exactly into the hole (7) in the foot (1a) of the generator/machine block (1) thereabove to fix the same.
