Abstract
The invention relates to a rolling bearing arrangement (5) for mounting parts of a wind power plant (1), comprising three relatively rotatable annular elements (6-8) arranged concentrically with one another and at least regionally inside one another for connection to relatively rotatable parts of the wind power plant, wherein two relatively rotatable connecting elements (6-9) are separated from each other by a gap (9, 10) and partially or wholly overlap each other in the radial direction, wherein, further, provided in the region of a gap in radially overlapping regions of the annular connecting elements are at least two rows of rolling elements (34, 35), each of which rolls along a respective two raceways (32, 33) that overlap each other at least regionally in the radial direction, as well as at least one additional row of rolling elements (42) whose raceways do not overlap in the radial direction, wherein the radially innermost connecting element and the radially outermost connecting element are connected to one machine part and the radially middle connecting element is connected to the respectively other machine part.
