Abstract
A lifting drive for a radiation filter in a mammography device is provided. The lifting drive includes a recording apparatus that accommodates the radiation filter. The recording apparatus is embodied so that the radiation filter is operatively supported to allow movement for executing a lifting movement in at least one lifting direction. A first drive element is operable to create a drive movement. A first movement transmission element is operable to transmit the drive movement to the recording apparatus. The recording apparatus is operable to convert the drive movement into the lifting movement. A shape of the first movement transmission element is operable to be changed, so that the drive movement is able to be transmitted over different paths.
