Abstract

A gear unit for use in a wind turbine drive arrangement, the gear unit having an integrated rotor bearing arrangement and interfaces with the nacelle and rotor hub of the wind turbine, and the geometry of the gear unit and its interfaces with the nacelle and rotor hub being arranged to allow disassembly of the completely assembled gear unit from the nacelle and rotor hub at least primarily by axial movement in a direction away from the rotor hub.
