Abstract

The disclosure relates to a coupling device for coupling an input component to an output component so as to transmit a torque in a switchable manner. The coupling device includes a coupling designed to separate the input component and the output component in an open position and to connect these components in a closed position so as to transmit a torque. The coupling device further includes an actuating device, which can be moved between a base position and a switch position to adjust the coupling. The actuating device has an intermediate position which is located between the base position and the switch position, and, while in the intermediate position, the actuating device is pretensioned in the direction of the switch position and/or the base position.
