Abstract
The invention relates to a bearing assembly () comprising at least one first bearing element () and a second bearing element () which are rotatably connected relative to each other along a common longitudinal axis (). The bearing assembly () comprises a brake device () which inhibits the rotation of the two bearing elements () relative to each other by means of a frictional force produced by the brake device (), wherein the brake device () has at least one frictional element () and at least one clamping device (), by means of which the frictional element () is permanently clamped against one of the two bearing elements (). The bearing assembly also comprises a coupling device () which can be moved between an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the brake device () is engaged, whereby when the two bearing elements () rotate relative to each other, the rotation is inhibited by the frictional force produced by the brake device (), and in the open state, the brake device () is disengaged.
