Abstract
An X-ray apparatus has hollow motors providing hinge joints for a mobile part in rotation relative to a reference part. Each of the motors includes a rotor fixed to the mobile part as well as a stator fixed to the reference part. The axis of these motors is indistinguishable from the axis around which the mobile part can go into rotation. The motors facilitate an assembling of the parts of the apparatus in permitting cables or wires to cross through the hollow motors. The hinge joints provide a direct transmission between the mobile and reference parts.
