A clutch device for a drive train with a drive unit and a transmission arranged downstream has at least one, preferably two multi-plate clutches (k1,k2) which each have an input-side and an output-side plate carrier (701,708) and plates (11,12) alternating in the axial direction. In addition, a restoring spring (713,710) is provided for each multi-plate clutch, for automatically opening the multi-plate clutch, and a tension pot (31) is provided for dissipating the forces which occur when the multi-plate clutch is actuated. The clutch device has a securing ring (722) for axially securing one of the plate carriers relative to the tension pot (31). According to the invention, in an installation position, after the plate carrier which is to be secured has moved relative to the tension pot (31) counter to the spring force of the restoring spring (713,710), the securing ring (722) can be inserted radially from the outside into a retaining groove (720), wherein, in a use position, the securing ring is arranged in a pocket (724) which forms a radially outer stop. As a result, the pocket (724), which is expandable with difficulty under the influence of centrifugal force, can provide a radial stop for the securing ring, which is easily expandable under the influence of centrifugal force, thus permitting a secure fastening of components even when there is little construction space.
