A coupling, used in drivelines or for driving agricultural implements, has a first coupling element () and a second coupling element (). An actuating element () is axially displaceable relative to the first coupling element () between a switched-on position and a switched-off position. A power drive () actively displaces the actuating element (). The power drive () loads the actuating element () in the switched-on position against an abutment mechanism (). A first spring (), in the switched-on position of the actuating element (), loads the friction assembly (). This enables the friction assembly () to assume the torque transmitting position.
