Abstract

It is the intention for a linear unit (7) for imparting an axially acting force, having a rotational-translational gear (8), in particular a ball screw, which has a threaded spindle (1) and a threaded nut (2), and having a force transmission element (3), which is in particular in the form of a thrust rod or thrust tube, to be improved such that fewer components are required and the assembly of the linear unit is kept as simple as possible. For this purpose, the threaded nut (2) and the force transmission element (3) are connected to one another by means of a positively locking, in particular play-free connection, in particular by means of clinching.
