Abstract
An assembly for use in a drive-train of a wind turbine having a transmission, a generator and a module. The module includes a shaft or hub, at least one bearing and a support structure. The shaft of the module or the hub is mounted by the bearing so as to rotate in the support structure. The shaft or the hub can be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft of the transmission. A rotor of the generator can be fixed to the shaft of the module or to the hub. The support structure can be fixed to a housing of the transmission or the generator. At least one assembly safety device is provided in order to be able to fix the rotor of the generator. When the rotor of the generator is fixed by way of the assembly safety device, the module can be fitted and removed.
