ABSTRACT:
In an X-ray tube comprising a rotating anode mounted on magnetic bearings, the flow of anode current within the tube takes place without any contact by means of a stationarily fixed hollow anode in which is placed a cathode coupled rotationally to the rotating anode. The hollow anode is associated with heating means and the cathode is heated by thermal radiation within the hollow anode.
