Abstract

In accordance with a method for assembling a rotor bearing arrangement of a wind turbine, individual slide bearing pads are inserted in the bearing block. The bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads is then joined to a rotor block. During the joining of the rotor shaft and of the bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads, the rotor shaft may be installed on a rotor shaft support so as to be vertically upright. A rotor shaft flange of the rotor shaft may rest on the rotor shaft support. The bearing block fitted with the slide bearing pads may be placed upon the rotor shaft vertically from above.
