Abstract
The journals of two vanes of the wind turbine are connected with one another by a connecting rod 26 for absorption of the centrifugal forces of the vanes. Bearings with spherical faces are arranged between the ends of the connecting rod and the journals. The connecting rod is prestressed with a tensile force by means of a tubular bushing which surrounds the rod and which cooperates with threaded rings on the rod to tension the rod.
