1. A torque sensor unit comprising:
a ring magnet that is connectable to a first partial shaft for conjoint rotation;
a magnetic flux conductor that is connectable to a second partial shaft;
a sensor unit having a first housing, wherein the sensor unit detects a change in rotational angle between the first and second partial shafts; and
a second housing that surrounds the ring magnet and the magnetic flux conductor, the second housing being fixedly connected to the first housing of the sensor unit, wherein the second housing has a housing opening in which the first housing of the sensor unit is fixed by way of a frictional, press-fit connection, wherein the housing opening has a first profile on at least two side faces, wherein the first housing of the sensor unit has a second profile arranged on outer faces corresponding to the at least two side faces of the housing opening, wherein the first and second profiles have grooves that are parallel.
