A wheel bearing unit that measures the contact forces between the tire and the road under all driving situations including operation of the brake, and provides information for the vehicle operation control systems and for optimizing the braking process, the unit including first sensors arranged on the stationary part of the wheel bearing in order to measure the forces acting in the wheel bearing, and second sensors arranged on a support members for the disk-brake caliper for continuously determining the acting braking forces.

The invention relates to a protective arrangement with a rolling bearing unit with ABS capability which has a structurally integrated angle transmitter. The angle sensor is connected to a rotatable bearing ring so that it can rotate and has permanent magnet poles for coupling with an external sensor. The invention includes a weak magnetic cover which is located on the rolling bearing unit at a distance from the angle transmitter in such a way that a magnetic shield is formed between the angle transmitter and the environment outside.
