Elastic wheel for a rail vehicle

A wheel for a rail vehicle, comprising a wheel tire with a circumferential ridge formed on an inner circumference of the wheel tire and extending circumferentially in the direction of a rotation axis of the wheel, a wheel body with a ring flange formed on an outer circumference and on an axial side face of the wheel body and extending radially outward, and a clamp ring attached to the wheel body in a friction-locking or positively locking manner via a fastening means on a side face opposite the ring flange, with damping means being arranged between the clamp ring and the circumferential ridge of the wheel tire and between the circumferential ridge of the wheel tire and the ring flange of the wheel body,

• wherein each of the damping means is configured as at least two separate circular ring segments extending in the circumferential direction of the wheel, each circular ring segment extending over a circular segment of the wheel having a central angle of at least 30° to a maximum of 180°, wherein the circular ring segments have contact surfaces with, at least on one side, at least two centering cams extending in the axial direction and spaced apart in the circumferential direction, which mesh in a positively locking manner into corresponding recesses on the circumferential ridge of the wheel tire and on the ring flange of the wheel body or on the clamp ring, wherein the circular ring segments have a core made of an elastomer material, wherein the core of the circular ring segments is enclosed by metal sheet segments, at least on the contact surfaces bearing against the circumferential ridge of the wheel tire and against the clamp ring or the ring flange of the wheel body.
