An eddy current coupling (4) is proposed, with a first movable coupling element (13) comprising an electrically conductive eddy current portion (16), in which eddy currents can form. Furthermore, the eddy current coupling has a second coupling element (10) which is movable relative to the first coupling element (13) and on which magnets (14) are arranged in such a way that, in the event of a relative movement of the first and second coupling elements (10, 13) with respect to one another, the magnets are led past the eddy current portion (16). The first and the second coupling element (10, 13) are separated at the eddy current portion (16) via an air gap (18). Magnetic conduction means (17, 17a) consisting of magnetically conductive material are provided in the eddy current portion (16). According to the invention, in a plurality of first regions (17a), the area of which is not inconsiderable as compared with the eddy current portion (16), the magnetic conduction means (17, 17a) are led in the direction of the air gap (18). However, as also seen from the air gap (18), the magnetic conduction means extend between the first regions (17a) in the eddy current portion (16), at points lying at a lower level, over further second regions.
