Abstract

A mainframe mounts the drivetrain of a wind turbine, and to an arrangement comprising such a mainframe, and to a wind turbine having a corresponding arrangement. For the purpose of mounting the drivetrain of a wind turbine, the mainframe is realized with two bearing points that are spaced apart from each other, a partial flange, having a fastening region shaped as a circular ring segment, being provided at at least one bearing point. The arrangement comprises, besides the mainframe, at least one ring element configured to radially encompass the drivetrain. At least one ring element is fastened to the fastening region, shaped as a circular ring segment, of a bearing point of the mainframe. In the case of the wind turbine, the drivetrain is mounted by means of the described arrangement.
