Abstract:
A bearing with a supporting element, wherein the bearing is suitable for connecting a rotor blade of a wind turbine with a hub of the wind turbine is provided. The bearing comprises a first ring, which is arranged and prepared to be connected with the hub, and a second ring, which is arranged and prepared to be connected with the rotor blade. The rotor blade is rotatable with regard to the hub around a rotor blade axis of rotation. Furthermore, the bearing comprises a supporting element for supporting the first ring, in particular against deformation. The supporting element is arranged and prepared to be attached to the first ring with a first fixing element and to the hub with a second fixing element. A method of supporting a first ring of a bearing is also provided.
