Abstract
A rotating anode disk is balanced in a state where the rotating anode disk is mounted inside an X-ray tube. An adjustment device () balances the rotating anode disk in an operating state. The adjustment device includes at least a first plurality () of balancing elements () which are attached to at least one circular ring structure (). The balancing elements each include a balancing portion () mounted to the circular ring structure via a bending portion (). The bending portions are configured to be heated to a bending temperature to allow a radial pivoting movement () of the balancing portion from a first state () into a second state () caused by centrifugal forces upon rotation. A center of mass of the balancing portion is closer to a center () of the circular ring structure in a first state than the second state.
