Abstract: A cable sheave for cableway systems has a hub and a sheave surface extending outwardly from the hub. The sheave surface may be formed of spokes and a cable groove is formed on its periphery. Fastening devices are provided in the sheave surface for rigidly connecting at least two sheave parts to one another to form the complete cable sheave. The parting line(s) is located outside the hub. Here, a first cable sheave part containing the hub and forming the central region of the cable sheave is provided, and at least two further, second cable sheave parts are provided, which parts are of identical size, radially surround the first cable sheave part, are connected rigidly to the first cable sheave part and to the at least one second cable sheave part which is present and by means of which the cable groove is formed.
