The invention relates to a clutch device (1), comprising a friction clutch (6), which is open in an unactuated state and is pressed closed along an engagement path by an actuator (19) by means of a lever spring (23), wherein the actuator (19) axially displaces lever tips (25) of the lever spring (23) lying radially inside by means of an engagement bearing (21), the lever spring (23) is supported in relation to a clutch cover (10) on a ramp device (29) of an independently force-controlled adjustment device (27) and, radially outside, displaces the pressure plate (12) in relation to an axially fixed counter pressure plate (9), wherein a sensor spring (33) is clamped between the clutch cover (10) and the lever spring (23) under the action of force, wherein the lever spring (23) has a degressive characteristic curve progression at least before a clutch torque is transmitted and wherein a contact force of the lever spring (23) decreases, in the event of wear between the lever spring (23) and the ramp device (29) in dependence on an installation position of the lever spring (23) that changes in accordance with wear, to such an extent that an adjustment ring (31) of the ramp device (29) can rotate, the wear thus being axially compensated. In order to be able to use such a friction clutch (6) regardless of the operational concept of the actuator (19), at least one energy store (37), which reproduces the engaging force of the actuator (19) continuously rising over the engagement path, is clamped between the lever spring (23) and an axially fixed component.
