Abstract
A bearing arrangement for rotational mounting of machine and plant components, comprising a nose ring, a bearing ring and a retaining ring of a large rolling bearing serving as a main mounting of a rotor of a wind power installation, and further comprising a plurality of tapered-roller rolling bearing arrays, particularly at least two tapered-roller rolling element arrays, which roll circulatingly about a main axis of rotation about the axial direction, and further comprising at least one cylindrical roller array arranged perpendicularly to the tapered-roller rolling element arrays and operative to support radial force components, wherein the plurality of tapered-roller rolling bearing arrays for supporting all axial force components are arranged parallel to one another, and planes of the tapered-roller rolling element arrays in which the tapered-roller rolling element arrays rotate about the axial main axis upon rotational movement of the mounted part do not intersect.
