DISK BRAKE FOR AN AZIMUTH DRIVE OF A WIND TURBINE

摘要

The invention relates to a disk brake for an azimuth drive of a horizontally rotatable nacelle of a wind turbine, comprising a brake housing, which has a mouth-shaped receptacle for a disk ring to be braked, wherein an upper brake shoe arrangement that can be moved in a reciprocating manner and/or a lower brake shoe arrangement that can be moved in an opposing reciprocating manner is associated with the receptacle, which brake shoe arrangements each have at least one friction lining carrier (6a, 6b) directed toward the receptacle, is known. The upper and/or the lower brake shoe arrangement has a plurality friction lining carriers (6a, 6b) arranged adjacent to each other, and at least one support section (10) is fixed to the housing and protrudes at least in some sections between two adjacent friction lining carriers.
