Abstract:
A locking unit (24) for a rotor lock system (20) of a wind turbine (1), the locking unit (24) comprising: a locking shaft (34) that is slidably movable within a barrel (30) under the influence of an actuator (32); and an angular drive arrangement (48, 50) which is configured to enable angular movement of the locking shaft (34) about a longitudinal axis as the locking shaft (34) is moved linearly within the barrel (30) by the actuator (32).
