The invention relates to a wheel bearing unit (1) for supporting a vehicle wheel which can be driven. This wheel bearing unit (1) includes a wheel hub (2) which forms a hollow space (11) and is rotatably supported by a wheel bearing (3) formed as a rolling bearing , wherein the wheel bearing is inserted (3) in a wheel carrier. Furthermore the wheel hub (2) is connected by a hub flange (21) to the vehicle wheel and reciprocally to the hub flange (21) by an end toothing (9) in positive engagement with a drive joint (8). A measurement of a torque or a torsion takes place by a sensor (18) at an inner wall (17) of the hollow space (11) of the wheel hub (2).
