Abstract
A ceiling support for an X-ray source with a decouplable tomogram drive, has a transverse carriage suspended so as to be displaceable along a longitudinal ceiling running rail with the tomogram drive. The tomogram drive has a driven gearwheel on the drive shaft of a drive motor which is rigidly secured to the transverse carriage. The tomogram drive has a displacement gearwheel that meshes therewith and that is seated on a rocker which is pivotable around the drive shaft. The rocker can be pivoted by a switchable drive element into engagement with a toothed rack secured to the longitudinal ceiling running rail.
