An X-ray diagnostic device has an attachment-and-detachment detection element that detects an attachment-and-detachment of the attachment-and-detachment member, a rotation detection element that detects the rotation of the motor, a torque adjustment element that adjusts the torque of the motor, and a torque detection element that detects the torque when the rotation of the motor suspends wherein when attachment-and-detachment is detected, the brake is released when the brake is released, the rotation of the motor due to an out of balance condition between the up-and-down moving element and the counterweight is detected and the motor torques is adjusted so as to suspend the detected rotation of the motor the torque when the rotation of the motor suspends is continuously provided, so that the balance between the up-and-down moving element and the counterweight can be kept positioned.
