[0003] The yaw variable pitch bearing plays an important role in the wind turbine, ensuring that the wind wheel and the blade have a suitable angle with the wind direction, so as to fully utilize the wind energy. The yaw variable pitch bearing is composed of an inner ring, an outer ring, a retainer, a rolling element, lubricating grease and a rubber sealing ring. The rubber sealing ring mainly plays the role of sealing the lubricating grease inside the bearing and preventing foreign matters from entering the inside of the bearing. With the continuous development of wind driven generators from small megawatts to large megawatts, the pressure maintaining capacity of the rubber sealing ring of the yaw variable pitch bearing is continuously improved, and the requirement for sealing is higher and higher.
