Abstract: A plate (1) for a multiple-plate clutch has at least one friction surface (4) for transmitting a torque, in particular for a wet-running switchable multiple disk clutch. The plate (1) has at least one friction surface (4) which has grooves (7.1, 7.2, 10.1, 10.2) with an inside bordering edge (6) and an outside bordering edge (5), and at least one groove (7.1, 7.2, 10.1, 10.2) that runs from the inside bordering edge (6) to the outside bordering edge (5). The at least one groove (7.1, 7.2, 10.1, 10.2) has at least one bending point (8.1, 8.2, 9.1, 9.2, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.2) at which the at least one groove (7.1, 7.2, 10.1, 10.2) is bent at an angle (?1, ?2, ?3, ?4).
