Abstract
A damping device and a wind turbine generator system comprising the damping device. The damping device comprises: damping components; structural supports, the structural supports connecting the damping components to a mass block provided on an object to be damped, each structural support comprising a gear, and the gear being rotatably provided on the structural support; and guide rails, wherein each guide rail has a predetermined curvature, each guide rail has a first end used for being rotatably connected to the object to be damped and a second end supported on the corresponding structural support, a tooth portion engaged with a gear is formed on a side portion of each guide rail, and when the mass block swings, the swing of the mass block is converted into transmission by means of the engagement transmission between the guide rail and the gear for input into the corresponding damping component.
