ROTANODE™
E7254X
E7254FX
E7254GX
Rotating Anode X-ray Tube Assembly
 High speed rotating anode X-ray tube assembly
for high energy radiographic and
cine-fluoroscopic operations.

 The heavy anode is constructed with specially

processed Rhenium-tungsten faced
molybdenum target which have an improved
coating to increase thermal emissivity.

 These tubes have foci 1.2 and 0.6, and are

available for a maximum tube voltage 150kV.

 Accommodated with IEC60526 type high-voltage

cable receptacles.
