ABSTRACT:
The gantry of a tomography apparatus has a drum that is rotatable around an axis. The drum carries at least one component mounted thereon. The component is mounted on the drum by a mounting arrangement that resolves a centrifugal force acting on the component into a radial force vector and a substantially axially proceeding force vector. The mounting of the component is thereby made less susceptible to breakage due to the high centrifugal forces that occur upon rotation of the gantry.
