Abstract: An x-ray tube has a stationary cathode and a rotating anode in a vacuum housing. The anode is positioned on a housing-fixed axle such that it can be rotated, and is fashioned as a hollow body in the interior of which an axle-fixed ring projection is disposed, such that, at least between an inner surface of the rotating anode and the adjacent outer surface of the ring projection, a gap exists that is filled with liquid metal and forms a liquid-metal fluid bearing for the rotating anode.

Abstract: An anode target (22) is rotatably supported by a rotating mechanism (25) having a rotary body (23) and a stationary body (28). A fitted portion between the rotary body (23) and the stationary body (28) is formed of bearing areas (L1) to (L4) having dynamic pressure type sliding bearings and a non-bearing area (L5) having a clearance between the rotary body (23) and the stationary body (28) larger than that in the bearing areas (L1) to (L4). The rotary body facing the non-bearing area is positioned where a time for heat transfer from the anode target (22) is shorter than the rotary body facing the bearing areas. Thus, the characteristics of heat radiation from the anode target (22) can be improved, and a stable bearing operation can be maintained.

Abstract: A rotating anode for an x-ray tube has an anode body composed of composite fiber material, mounted in a bearing system, the anode body having a target surface with a focal ring and including fibers with particularly high heat conductivity in the longitudinal direction. An axis-proximal cooling system is associated with the anode body. The majority of all fibers with high heat conductivity in the longitudinal direction terminate bluntly both at the focal ring and at the cooling system, such that their abutting faces respectively are in direct, heat-conducting contact both with the focal ring and with the cooling system.

The mobile support structure is displaceably mounted on the fixed support structure by one or more bearings. The device is provided with adjustment elements for the displacement of the support structure parallel to the bearing surface, in addition to a drive for carrying out a rotation of the support structure about an axis that is perpendicular to the bearing surface. The bearing elements are configured in such a way that they can be displaced on the bearing surface in every direction parallel to the bearing surface and can carry out a rotation about an axis that is perpendicular to the bearing surface.
