Abstract:
A wind turbine, including a support structure and a thrust bearing having a bearing pad which includes a piston and which is movably connected to the support structure, a spring element which is configured to resiliently support the bearing pad relative to the support structure, wherein a pad portion of the bearing pad and/or the bearing pad itself is configured to tilt and to move translationally relative to the support structure, and wherein a gap is provided between the piston and the support structure. The piston limits the movement of the bearing pad. Thus, reliable and well defined movement limits are provided. Furthermore, a broad spectrum of spring parameters is available since the movement may be restricted by the piston and not necessarily be the spring element.

Claim (Index 8):
The wind turbine according to  claim 1 , wherein the pad portion and/or the bearing pad comprises a concave element and a corresponding convex element, wherein one of the concave element and the convex element is configured to slide, relative to the other of the concave element and the convex element, when the pad portion and/or the bearing pad is tilted relative to the support structure.
