1. A gear wheel, comprising:
an insert (16) which has an insert outer diameter (dEa) and a receptacle section (32) having a torque-transmitting diameter (dD) for forming a connection to an adjacent component (44); and
a connecting part (18), connected in a formfitting or materially-bonded or friction-locked manner to the insert (16), having a gear rim (14),
wherein the connecting part (18) comprises a number of ribs (27),
wherein each of the ribs (27) extends along a tangent line (T), such that each of the tangent lines (T) of the plurality of ribs (27) is tangent to a common tangent circle (CT), and
wherein each of the ribs (27) is straight,
wherein each of the ribs (27) has a rib thickness (RB), and
wherein the tangent circle (CT) has a tangent circle diameter (dCT), which is larger than or equal to the torque-transmitting diameter (dD) and is smaller than or equal to a maximum diameter (dA), which is defined as follows:
dA=dEa+6 RB.
