A spin tuned magnetron (FIG. 2) includes a spinner 3 which interacts with a magnetron cavity to modulate its frequency of oscillation. The spinner runs in bearings 8, 9 around a shaft 7. The lives of the bearings are a controlling factor in the life of the magnetron. The outer races OR are fixed in position relative to each other and to the spinner by spacers, 13, 14 and a spring 15 arranged between an abutment 11 and a circlip 12 on the spinner. The inner races are arranged to be moveable relative to each other and to the shaft by virtue of spacers 10 and 17, a spring 16 between the inner races, and a further spring 18. A pole-piece nose 4 is arranged to be screwed down on the shaft to compress the springs 16 and 18 to provide a desired amount of axial float on the spinner. By setting the axial float the bearing load can be shared as desired and thus increase the lives of the bearings.
