Friction clutch comprises at least one pressure plate (16, 30) coupled to a housing arrangement (18) for common rotation about an axis of rotation (A), a power-impinging arrangement (20, 36) supported relative to the pressure plate and the housing arrangement, and a bearing arrangement (40) for supporting a reaction force on the housing arrangement produced in an operator system (28) during an operating process. The bearing arrangement is supported relative to the housing arrangement against movement in both axial directions. Preferred Features: The housing arrangement together with a holding element forms a recess receiving a securing element supporting the bearing arrangement in one axial direction. The holding element supports the bearing arrangement in the other axial direction.
