Abstract
The motor efficiency of a rotating X-ray tube having an anode assembly and a cathode assembly, can be greatly improved. The improved efficiency x-ray tube motor comprises a stator and rotor assembly having an air gap between the stator and rotor. The improved efficiency is achieved by reducing the air gap. The stator is operated at anode potential and electrically connected through an anode high voltage cable.
