A wheel sensor for a tire pressure control device has a holder. To create a wheel sensor for a tire pressure control device which is advantageous to manufacture and assembly and yet does not require any special valve equipment on the wheel, a pivotably mounted housing part be provided on a housing of the wheel sensor, with the housing part being pivotable via a lockable tension element. One rib is provided at the end of the pivotably mounted housing part and another is provided opposite that on the housing.
