The present invention relates to a multi-part rail wheel with a wheel tyre, a wheel body, an elastic body arranged between the wheel tyre and the wheel body and via which the wheel tyre is supported on the wheel body, and at least one clamping element attached to the wheel body from one end face, via which the elastic body is braced against the wheel body and the wheel tyre by clamping means acting on the wheel body, the wheel body consisting of a light metal material in the region where the clamping means act. The rail wheel guarantees secure bracing of the components with simple assembly and disassembly. This is achieved by at least one counter-bearing element being provided on the end face of the wheel body opposite the clamping element. The counter-bearing element consists of a material which has a higher strength than the wheel body material.
A multi-part rail wheel comprising a wheel tyre, a wheel body and an elastic body arranged between the wheel tyre and the wheel body through which the wheel tyre is supported on the wheel body, and having at least one clamping element which is attached to the wheel body from one of its end faces and by which the elastic body is braced against the wheel body and the wheel tyre by clamping means which engage on the wheel body, wherein the wheel body consists of a light metal material at least in the region against which the clamping means act, wherein at the one end face of the wheel body, axially opposite the clamping element as a counter-bearing and on which the clamping means engage, at least one annular counter-bearing element is provided comprising a material which has a higher strength than the light metal material of the wheel body, and wherein the counter-bearing element is seated in a receptacle which is aligned coaxially with the axis of rotation (D) of the rail wheel and which is formed into the wheel body as a depression in the form of an annular groove.
