A specific embodiment of a plain bearing and use thereof between a tower-mounted machine head and the tower head of a wind energy plant is disclosed. Said plain bearing for the transfer of large axial forces and high bending moments, with low relative movement, whereby the one bearing part has a ring shoulder, which engages in a ring groove on the other bearing part. The ring shoulder, which can have an outwardly-converging trapezoidal cross-section, has a friction lining on the surface of the free side thereof and, optionally, on the peripheral surface. The above, as well as the corresponding other bearing part, in particular, an outer ring, comprising the ring shoulder, may be divided into segments. The segments may, thus, be individually removed from the ensemble for maintenance and, in particular, treated with a new friction surface. |
