Abstract

See full text

An X-ray tube of a rotating anode type for reducing acoustic noise and vibration by using an isolating structure which suppresses and prevents transmission of the vibrational energy from the rotating anode assembly to a vacuum envelope and a housing of the X-ray tube. The isolating structure comprises at least one flexible member which is connected between a support structure of the the anode assembly and a neck portion of the vacuum envelope forming a hermetical sealing therewith, and symmetrically disposed isolating members placed between the neck and head portions of the vacuum envelope and the housing, respectively. The flexible members of the isolating structure can be incorporated into the walls of the vacuum envelope.
