Abstract
A vibration absorbing track wheel having one or more different natural frequencies. The wheel body has a wheel flange with one or more resonance absorbers on the wheel flange. Each resonance absorber comprises at least two tongues and an intermediate layer of damping material between each of the two adjacent tongues, and each tongue is turned to a different natural frequency of the wheel.
