Abstract: A cooling arrangement for an X-ray tube of the type having a housing having an interior space in which the anode is disposed, and a projection in which the cathode is disposed, the projection being connected to the interior space by a neck region, includes channels for coolant flow formed by an electron beam detector that has a U-shape with legs that straddle the exterior of the neck region. Each leg of the electron beam deflector has a surface that faces an exterior corner of the housing formed by the projection, so as to form, in combination with the corner, a channel for coolant flow therethrough. A nozzle for discharging coolant can be provided at one end of each channel.

Abstract: A mounting part for mounting an end of an axle on a projection of a housing, such as an axle in a vacuum-tight housing of a rotatable anode, is characterized by a sleeve section which can have radial play during assembly and engages a clamp arrangement to remove the radial play at the end of assembly of the section on either the end of the axle or the projection of the housing. The clamp arrangement is a bevel provided on the member being telescopically received in the section or on a ring which is telescopically received on the member being received in the section.

Abstract: An x-ray radiator has an x-ray tube disposed in a protective housing and a fastening means having a portion attached to the x-ray tube inside the housing, and a portion which extends through the housing to the exterior of the housing. The exterior portion serves as a fastener to attach the x-ray radiator to a mount. The x-ray tube, within the housing, thus becomes directly attached to the exterior mount, which improves the precision with which the specified position of the central ray of the x-ray beam emanating from the x-ray tube can be achieved.
