ELASTIC, HYDRAULIC OR PNEUMATIC PRESSURE-ACCUMULATOR BEARING AND THE USE THEREOF IN WIND POWER TURBINES

摘要

The invention relates to a hydraulic or pneumatic bearing, comprising elastic elements (2) and at least one pressure accumulator (7), which bearing is capable of absorbing static forces or loads but also other forces acting in one or more desired directions and is thus capable of freeing other bearings from said forces or loads or reducing said forces or loads. The invention further relates to the use of such bearings in particular in wind turbines, in particular for reducing the load on the plant caused by forces and loads of the generator and/or gearbox, but also for supporting grout connections in monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines, or else for reducing the load on couplings.
