Abstract:
Provided is a drivetrain assembly including a rotor shaft; a bearing unit mounted about the rotor shaft; and a further drivetrain component connected to an end of the rotor shaft, wherein an annular face of the further drivetrain component is arranged opposite an annular face of the bearing unit with a distance between the annular faces. The drivetrain assembly is characterized by an annular arrangement of tapped holes formed in a first of the two opposing annular faces; a plurality of bolts, wherein each bolt includes a bolt shaft threaded into a tapped hole, a lock nut threaded onto the bolt shaft and tightened against the first annular face; and a bolt head arranged to make contact with the second of the two opposing annular faces. Also provided is a wind turbine including a such a drivetrain assembly; and a method of assembling such a drivetrain.
