A coupling for a belt retractor with a belt tensioner comprises a hub that can be driven by the belt tensioner and has several contact surfaces, and comprises several clamping rollers that are arranged in the hub in such a way that they can be urged radially inwards by the contact surfaces. The coupling further comprises a shaft that can be coupled to the hub by means of the clamping rollers. At least one return element is provided that urges the clamping rollers into a position out of engagement with the shaft.
