Zusammenfassung: | A pitch bearing assembly for a wind turbine including a stiffener is disclosed. The pitch bearing assembly includes an outer race and an inner race rotatable relative to the outer race. The inner race may define an inner circumference and may include a plurality of gear teeth around the inner circumference. Further, the pitch bearing assembly includes a stiffener having a body and at least one gear pinion configured with the body. The body extends at least partially around the inner circumference of the inner race and the at least one gear pinion engages a portion of the plurality of gear teeth. Further, the body remains fixed relative to the inner race while the gear pinions may freely rotate along with the inner race. |
