ROTATABLE ANODE AND X-RAY TUBE COMPRISING A LIQUID HEAT LINK

摘要

In a rotatable anode (4) of an X-raytube, a heat transfer between the rotating disc of the anode (4a) and the second bearing element (11) is achieved by providing a contact material (14) within a gap (16a, b) between the anode disc(4a)and the second bearing element (11). Contact elements (15) protrude from the second bearing element (11) into the contact material (14), thus allowing a heat transfer from anode disc (4a) to second bearing element (11) via contact material (14) and contact element (15).
