Patent ID: 7441960

Claim:
Bearing arrangement in a computer tomograph in which a rotating component is supported relative to a stationary housing, the bearing arrangement comprising a bearing that comprises an inner bearing ring and an outer bearing ring, the inner bearing ring being connected to the component which is to be supported and the outer ring being connected to the housing by way of at least one damping element configured to damp vibration between the outer bearing ring and the stationary housing, both the inner bearing ring and the outer bearing ring are made as integral one-piece elements possessing a hollow cylindrical base contour, a radial extension of the outer bearing ring in the radial direction being at least twice the radial extension of the inner bearing ring in the radial directions, wherein the component which is to be supported is drum-shaped and has a stiffness which is low relative to the stiffness of the outer bearing ring of the bearing, and wherein the radial extension of the inner bearing ring in the radial direction is between 15 mm and 30 mm, and an inside diameter of the inner bearing ring is between 1000 and 2000 mm.
