They ensure smooth rotation at high speeds (typically 3,000-10,000 RPM), preventing vibration that can degrade image quality, cause mechanical failure, or reduce tube lifespan.
Yes, they are often designed with threaded or slotted configurations for fine-tuning during dynamic balancing procedures on balancing machines.
Excessive vibration occurs, leading to bearing wear, anode disc damage, reduced X-ray tube life, and potentially blurred or artifact-ridden medical images.
