    Assignee: Siemens Mobility GMBH
    Inventor: Ruediger Zenz
  • Wheel with a wheel-mounted brake disk
    Patent number: 10047811
    Abstract: A rail wheel having a wheel-mounted brake disk fastened to the wheel body of the rail wheel by multiple fastening elements distributed across the wheel circumference and seated against the wheel body within this fastening region, where the wheel-mounted brake disk is seated against the wheel body in at least one radial area radially outside the fastening region in the cold state and is spaced apart from the wheel body in the region radially within the fastening region to reduce stress on the fastening elements after braking has been initiated.
