Friction clutch for use in a drive train having a pressure plate which is rotationally fixed with respect to a housing but which can be displaced axially to a limited degree, wherein at least one disc spring is provided between the housing and the pressure plate, which disc spring acts on the pressure plate in the axial direction, and the friction clutch also has a readjustment device which is effective between the housing and the disc spring and which ensures at least partial compensation of at least the friction lining wear of a clutch plate which interacts with the pressure plate when the friction clutch is mounted in the drive train, wherein the disc spring can pivot with respect to an annular support which is borne by the housing, and force is applied to said disc spring axially in the direction of this support via spring means, wherein the spring means comprise at least leaf-spring-like means (9), a disc-spring-like sensor spring (11) and at least one additional spring means (10).
