The present invention relates to balancing of a rotating anode. In order to provide a facilitated balancing of a rotating anode allowing balancing also in a state where the rotating anode disk is mounted inside an X-ray tube, an adjustment device (54) for balancing a rotating anode disk in an operating state is provided. The adjustment device comprises at least a first plurality (72) of balancing elements (74), wherein the balancing elements are attached to at least one circular ring structure (76), and wherein the balancing elements each comprise a balancing portion (80) mounted to the circular ring structure via a bending portion (82). The bending portions are configured to be heated to a bending temperature to allow a radial pivoting movement (84) of the balancing portion from a first state (86) into a second state (88) caused by centrifugal forces upon rotation, wherein in the first state, a centre of mass of the balancing portion is closer to a centre (90) of the circular ring structure than the second state. |
