A first component with a fixing groove is affixed to a second component, using a ball-head screw having a thread and a ball head, a slot nut for the thread fitting into the fixing groove of the first component, and a fixation part having a ball head seat and a planar fixation support surface for fixing the fixation part to the second component. The ball head seat receives the ball head, forming a ball joint. In a central position, the fixation support surface is parallel and offset to a longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw. The ball-head seat includes recessed portions receiving a screw portion of the ball-head screw. An inclination angle between the longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw in the central position, and the longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw in the position when received in the recessed portion, is at least 90&#xb0;.

Fixation system

A valve actuation device for actuating a valve, such as a sanitary valve, in an axial actuation movement for a first valve function, illustratively a shut-off function, and in a rotary actuation movement for a second valve function, illustratively a quantity regulation or mixing function, and to a sanitary valve equipped with such a valve actuation device.
