A rubber-suspended railway wheel having a highly-prestressed rubber insert embedded in facing annular grooves formed in the wheel rim and in the wheel tire and wherein, in order to restrict the extent of axial movement between the wheel tire and wheel rim, a shoulder of the annular groove of the wheel rim overlaps a shoulder of the annular groove of the wheel tire.

Resilient railway wheel

A railway wheel of lightweight construction, having a disc-like wheel body and a tire which is tension-mounted on the wheel rim, and with the wheel disc including a tangential undulating or wavelike configuration of radially extending crests and troughs. In the railway wheel, between an inner annularly extending groove formed in the wheel tire and an outer annular groove formed in the wheel rim, there is provided a pre-tensioned or pre-stressed rubber insert, and in which the wheel disc has a radially unwaved conical basic configuration.
