Rotary anode bearing assembly and rotary anode for X-ray tube and method for assembling a rotary anode bearing assembly

Abstract

The disclosure relates, inter alia, to a rotary anode bearing assembly for an X-ray tube comprising at least one bearing outer ring and rolling elements arranged within the at least one bearing outer ring, which rolling elements roll on the at least one bearing outer ring and enclose a radially inner receiving space for receiving a rotor of an X-ray tube; comprising a bearing housing in which the at least one bearing outer ring is mounted, wherein the bearing housing circumferentially surrounds the at least one bearing outer ring. The rotary anode bearing assembly according to the disclosure includes an end face of at least one bearing outer ring or of a caulking ring axially adjoining the bearing outer ring is caulked to an end face of the bearing housing by plastic deformation of material of the bearing housing and/or of the bearing outer ring and/or of the caulking ring.
