yaw mechanism / yaw bearing (cam wheel)

"The yaw bearing is the large cam wheel that is turned by the small cam wheel of the yaw motor"
http://nacelleparts.com/index.html

Sometimes the whole mechanism is referred to as the yaw mechanism (as on the Danish site). Otherwise the mechanism is divided up and sometimes what seems to be the "vridkrans" is referred to as the yaw bearing, and even the yaw bearing cam wheel.
Hope that helps.
