Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a functional shaft, comprising the steps of: inserting each of at least two functional elements provided with a pocket into a respective retaining element at a predetermined angular position, the retaining elements being located axially one after the other at a predetermined axial distance relative to each other; inserting a shaft into the pockets of the at least two functional elements; measuring independently a force that is applied to each retaining element while the shaft is being inserted into the pockets of the at least two functional elements; and determining from each measured force a value of a torque which the inserted shaft and the respective functional element is capable of withstanding without relative motion between the inserted shaft and the respective functional element.
