ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an X-ray apparatus, including an apparatus section which is pivotable about a horizontal pivotal axis that does not extend through its center of gravity, and a spring assembly for compensation of the torque which is exerted by the weight of the apparatus section on a coupling member which moves in an orbit about the pivotal axis during pivoting of the apparatus section. Suitable counterbalancing is readily achieved in that the center of the orbit is situated outside the pivotal axis in a vertical plane containing the pivotal axis and that the coupling member is guided in a guide device which is connected to the apparatus section and which extends towards the pivotal axis.
