Abstract

A coupling arrangement (12) includes a housing (6), at least one locking element (14) designed to at least partly surround the housing (6) forming a first area of contact (18) with the housing (6) via a positive locking or frictional connection to limit rotational movement of the housing (6), and a connecting element (16). The connecting element (16), arranged at least partly circumferentially around the housing (6) and being cylindrical with a center axis (X), has at least one locking recess (20) designed to at least partly take in the respective locking element (14) to limit rotational movement of the connecting element (16) via positive locking. The housing (6), the locking element (14) and the connecting element (16) are designed and arranged such as to limit movement of the housing (6) relative to the connecting element (16) at least in one direction of the center axis (X).
