The invention relates to a wheel bearing unit () for a vehicle wheel, comprising a hub element (') which has an axially (a) extending cylindrical section () to be supported by a bearing arrangement () and which has a radially (r) extending flange section () for fixing the vehicle wheel and/or a brake disk at a face side () of the flange section (), wherein the bearing arrangement () has an outer ring (). To ensure a firm and cost effective axial connection between the hub element and the outer ring, the invention is characterized in that the outer ring () has a radially extending insection () at its a outer circumference (), wherein the axially (a) extending cylindrical section () of the hub element (&#x2032;) is deformed partially () so that a section of it interferes in the insection () for axially fixing the hub element (&#x2032;) relatively to the outer ring (). The invention also relates to a method for producing a wheel bearing unit.

A bearing and shaft assembly comprises a shaft and at least one bearing, and is provided with at least one strain sensor. An elastic component is provided between the shaft and the at least one bearing, and the elastic component comprises the at least one strain sensor. In one disclosed embodiment, the elastic component forms an integral part with one of the bearing and the shaft.

A screw actuator comprises a housing (), a screw mechanism () with a nut () and a screw (), as well as a motor () which is drivingly connected to the screw. The screw () is rotatably and translatably supported with respect to the nut (), which is fixed with respect to the housing (). The screw engages a translatable, non rotatable actuating head () through a swivel connection. The swivel connection comprises a pair of conformed surfaces () having a common rotational axis of symmetry which is aligned with the axis of the screw mechanism.
