Wheel with a wheel-mounted brake disk
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.
1. A rail wheel comprising:
a wheel-mounted brake disk fastened to a wheel body of the rail wheel by a plurality of fastening elements distributed over the wheel circumference and seated against the wheel body in a fastening region delineating a region radially outside the fastening region and a region radially within the fastening region;
wherein in a cold state the wheel-mounted brake disk is seated against the wheel body in at least one region radially outside the fastening region and the wheel-mounted brake disk is thinner on a side facing the rail wheel radially within the fastening region than a side radially outside the fastening region to space the wheel-mounted brake disk apart from the wheel body in the entire region radially within the fastening region.
2. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wheel-mounted brake disk is seated directly against the wheel body in the cold state radially outside the fastening region in the at least one region.
3. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wheel-mounted brake disk has a ledge on a side facing the rail wheel radially within the fastening region.
4. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the wheel-mounted brake disk has a ledge on a side facing the rail wheel radially within the fastening region.
5. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rail wheel has a ledge on a side facing the wheel-mounted brake disk radially within the fastening region.
6. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rail wheel has a ledge on a side facing the wheel-mounted brake disk radially within the fastening region.
7. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the rail wheel has a ledge on a side facing the wheel-mounted brake disk radially within the fastening region.
8. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacing between the wheel mounted-brake disk and wheel body is at least 1 mm.
9. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the spacing between the wheel mounted-brake disk and wheel body is at least 2 mm.
10. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacing between the wheel mounted-brake disk and wheel body is between 3 mm and 4 mm.
11. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wheel-mounted brake disk includes cooling fins and where applicable is seated against the wheel body with the cooling fins disposed radially outside the fastening region.
12. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one region outside the fastening region, at which the wheel mounted-brake disk is seated against the wheel body, is spaced apart from the fastening region in the radial direction.
13. The rail wheel with wheel-mounted brake disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wheel-mounted brake disk has an integral and annular configuration.
