X50 AH

Device typeX-ray system tube rotating anode assembly: A component of an x-ray tube, the rotating anode subassembly provides the means to rotate a disc made of tungsten (W) or an alloy of tungsten at speeds above 3000 revolutions per minute while the x-ray tube is operational. The disc is contained within the vacuum of the glass x-ray tube. The power to effect rotation is provided by a magnetic field produced by stator coils which surround the neck of the x-ray tube outside the glass envelope. This mechanism is used in x-ray tube designs in order to dissipate the heat generated by x-ray tubes and to allow them to withstand the heat generated by large x-ray exposures.
