X-ray source device comprising an anode for generating x-rays

An x-ray source device, comprising:

• an anode, to generate x-rays via an electron beam striking a focal point of the anode, the anode being rotatable about an axis of rotation via an electric motor including a stator and a rotor, the stator including a first coil end, relatively nearer to the anode in a direction of the axis of rotation, and a second coil end, relatively further from the anode in the direction of the axis of rotation,
• wherein a laminated core, included in the stator, is arranged between the first coil end and the second coil end, the laminated core, in a radial direction in relation to the axis of rotation, including a maximal external radius in a focal plane,
• wherein the focal plane includes the focal point and the axis of rotation,
• wherein the first coil end includes a first intersection area, relatively further from the focal point and a second intersection area, relatively nearer to the focal point, with respect to the focal plane, and
• wherein a maximal external radius of the second intersection area is relatively smaller than a maximal external radius of the laminated core in the focal plane.
