Abstract
A coupling device for coupling two components in a torque-conducting manner including a first coupling component having a first external toothing and a second coupling component having a second external toothing. In addition, the coupling device has a sliding sleeve having an internal toothing which is permanently engaged with the first external toothing and can be selectively brought into engagement with the second external toothing. Furthermore, a locking unit is provided which can selectively assume a locking state in which the sliding sleeve is held in a form-fitting manner in a rotationally coupled state. In addition, the locking unit can selectively assume an unlocking state.
