    Abstract: An X-ray tube device capable of preventing a holder holding a bearing from suffering damage, and an X-ray CT apparatus including the X-ray tube device are provided. The X-ray tube device includes: a cathode that produces an electron beam; an anode that produces X rays upon irradiation with the electron beam; a rotating portion that supports and rotates the anode; bearings that are placed at a predetermined distance from each other in a direction of a rotation axis of the rotating portion, each of the bearings having an outer ring and an inner ring between which rolling elements are sandwiched; and a holder that holds the outer rings. The holder has an inner wall that is spaced from an edge of the outer ring.

    Abstract: An X-ray tube bearing assembly may include a bearing housing including an accommodating cavity; and a bearing core accommodated in the accommodating cavity. The bearing housing may include first and second portions. The second portion surrounds and forms a portion of the accommodating cavity to accommodate the bearing core. The first portion extends out of the second portion and surrounds and forms another portion of the accommodating cavity, and the other portion of the accommodating cavity forms an accommodating hollow cavity. The first portion may have a different structural rigidity to that of the second portion.
