GANTRY FOR IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H05G1/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to X-ray engineering. The gantry for an image forming system comprises a rotating frame (106) which rotates near the area of investigation about the z axis; a second frame (102, 104); a support (108) which rotatably connects the rotating frame (106) with the second frame (102, 104), wherein one of the rotating frame (106) or the second frame (102, 104) is movably connected to the support (108) and the other is rigidly connected to the support (108), and a braking component (112) which selectively applies brakes to the rotating frame (106). The braking component (112) is part of a contactless bearing with a fluid medium, having a first part (1202) attached to the rotating frame (106) and a second part (1206) attached to the second frame (102), wherein the second part (1206) is engaged with the first part (1202) for braking the rotating frame (106), wherein the braking component (112) is controlled by an electrically controlled valve (1218).

EFFECT: improved design.
