Abstract

In a running wheel for track vehicles comprising two discs (1) which leave free a guide gap (11) for the chain teeth (10) and which terminate in a cylindrical region (2) with rubber coating (3) disposed at the outer periphery, to reduce the material stresses in each case in the transition between cylindrical region (2) and disc (1) due to the introduced forces at the open end of the cylindrical region (2) with constant wall thickness, in the third of the cylindrical region (2) remote from each disc (1) an inwardly directed peripheral bead (4) is disposed.
