Bearing assembly for use in wind turbines, has bearing ring of bearing that is fixed to housing element, where bearing ring penetrates recess in one of shell elements

摘要

The bearing assembly (1) has a housing element (2) and a component (3) that is rotatably mounted relative to the housing element, where a bearing (4) is arranged between the housing element and the component. Two shell elements are injected between a volume, where the volume is filled with a metal foam. One bearing ring of the bearing is fixed to the housing element, where the bearing ring penetrates a recess in one of the shell elements. The bearing ring is embedded with the shell elements passing through the metallic foam segment.
