The present invention relates to a frictional device () comprising at least one friction plate (), which has a plate-side toothing system (), and a plate carrier (), which has a carrier-side toothing system () and a predefined fitting end () for fitting the friction plate (), the contours () of the toothing systems () corresponding to one another in such a way that the friction plate () can be brought into engagement with the plate carrier (), forming a rotational drive connection. The friction plate () here has a first axial direction () and an opposing second axial direction (). According to the invention the contours () of the toothing systems () are formed in such a way that only in the first axial direction () can the friction plate () be brought into engagement with the plate carrier () via the predefined fitting end () of the plate carrier ().
