Abstract
A rotating unit of a medical imaging device has a hydrostatic slide bearing and an integrated coolant conduit. The rotating unit includes at least one stator, at least one rotor that is borne such that it can rotate relative to the stator, and at least one portion of a circulation system for the circulation of a bearing medium, so the rotor is borne hydrostatically floating by the bearing medium. The at least one portion of the circulation system for the circulation of the bearing medium also has at least one stator-side opening and one rotor-side opening to the hydrostatic slide bearing. The rotating unit additionally has at least one at least single-channel rotary joint mounted between the rotor and the stator. The rotating unit is designed such that the bearing medium can be supplied through the stator-side opening into the hydrostatic slide bearing and the bearing medium can be supplied again through the rotor-side opening and the rotary joint into the circulation system again.
