Running gear chain, in particular bogie chain

A running gear bogie chain, comprising:

• a flexible elastomer body, which is closed in an endless fashion and in a running direction;
• a multiplicity of rigid transverse elements connected to an outer side of the flexible elastomer body and which extend substantially transversely with respect to a running direction and are arranged together in the running direction
• the multiplicity of rigid transverse elements comprise a multiplicity of receptacles, wherein the multiplicity of receptacles are outwardly pointing;
• the multiplicity of rigid transverse elements are connected to the outer side of the flexible elastomer body by vulcanization;
• the rigid transverse elements designed as a U-shaped steel profile;
• one or more profiled elements inserted into one or more of the multiplicity of receptacles;
• and
• the multiplicity of rigid transverse elements are arranged close together in the running direction (A) that two immediately adjacent rigid transverse elements make contact in the running direction (A).
