Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Bernd Runge: By definition it's more a mount than a bearing. The V-shaped rubber-to-metal-bonded mounts are designed as vibration and impact/shock dampeners for drive trains, etc.

V-bearing, vertical bearing


Explanation:
Erläuterung zu V-Lager:

http://www.schwab-ag.ch/display.cfm/id/100020

Geringe Einbauhöhe
V-Lager ermöglichen grosse Einfederung in vertikaler
Richtung (Z) trotz geringer Bauhöhe und hoher
horizontaler Belastbarkeit. Die progressive Federcharakteristik
erlaubt auch hohe Stossbelastungen.

Im von Ihnen genannten Kontext sollen die Lager offensichtlich die Windenergieanlage vom restlichen System kräftemässig entkoppeln.

"V" steht meiner Meinung nach für "vertikal".
