Abstract: The invention relates to an electomagnetic frictionally engaged clutch (1) provided with a rotor part (4) comprising a friction lining (2). An electrical coil (6) and a first permanent magnet (14) are arranged on the rotor part (4). Said clutch also comprises an armature disk (10) which is connected to a second shaft (9) and can be displaced in a rotationally fixed manner, but axially from a coupled end position to an uncoupled end position. The aim of the invention is to enahle the coil (6) of the clutch (1) to be current-free both in the coupled state and in the uncoupled state. To this end, means (15; 20) are provided for exerting an axial force opposing the magnetic force of the first permanent magnet (14) on the armature disk (10).
