The company develops a wheel bearing unit, which has: an end meshing part constructed on a rolling riveted collar for transmitting torque; And a first sealing system that at least partially radially surrounds the end engaging portion. The goal is to propose a protective cap, which can protect such wheel bearing units to facilitate the transportation of wheel bearing units. For this purpose, the wheel bearing unit carries a protective cap covering the wheel bearing unit on the vehicle side, wherein the protective cap also covers the first sealing system radially and axially. Thus, the shape of the protective cap is obviously different from the known shape of the protective cap.
