Abstract

A bearing assembly of a rotor of a wind turbine, namely for mounting the rotor in a fixed housing, includes: a plurality of rotor-side axial slide bearing segments, each configured to: engage on the rotor, rotate together with the rotor, and be supported against a sliding surface of the housing; a plurality of housing-side axial slide bearing segments, each configured to: engage on the housing, be fixed together with the housing, and be supported against a first sliding surface of the rotor; and a plurality of housing-side radial slide bearing segments, each configured to: engage on the housing, be fixed together with the housing and be supported against a second sliding surface of the rotor.
