Abstract
A rotor hub for a wind turbine that can be configured between an in-use or "operational" configuration and a transport configuration. In the transport configuration, the rotor hub has a reduced external size compared to when it is in the operational configuration. The rotor hub comprises a generally hollow hub body having a first end and a second end spaced along an axis of rotation of the hub, wherein the first end defines a rotor connecting flange configured to connect the hub of the rotor. rotor to a main axis, and wherein a second end defines a nose region of the hub. The hub also defines at least one blade opening defined between the first end and the second end, a blade bearing associated with the or each blade opening, and a pitch actuator associated with the blade bearing. In the operational configuration, a portion of the step actuator protrudes from the nose region of the hub body by a first distance, while in the transport configuration the portion of the step actuator protrudes from the nose region of the hub body. cube in a smaller extension than when in the operational configuration. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the pitch actuator is activated to change the extent to which the pitch actuator protrudes through the tip region of the hub body.
