Abstract
The present invention relates to a rotor blade adjusting drive for adjusting the pitch angle of a rotor blade of a wind power plant, comprising a drive train which at the output end can be connected with the rotor blade and/or a bearing member supporting the rotor blade, and a spring accumulator connectable with the drive train, which includes a spring accumulator shaft, a spring accumulator housing and a spring means which can be tensioned by rotating spring accumulator shaft and spring accumulator housing relative to each other, wherein the spring accumulator shaft and/or the spring accumulator housing can be uncoupled from the drive train and is rotatable with respect to the same for biasing the spring accumulator, wherein a braking device is provided for retarding and/or holding the spring accumulator shaft and/or the spring accumulator housing against the spring bias in the uncoupled condition of the spring accumulator.
