Adjusting device for a friction clutch, having at least the following components: - an adjusting ring which can be rotated about a rotational axis with at least one ramp for compensating for a wear-induced change in a return travel of a pressure plate; - a counter-element with at least one counter-ramp which corresponds to the at least one ramp, which ramps (51, 10) together form a ramp pair, the adjusting ring and the counter-element with the ramp pair placed on top of one another forming an overall height, and the at least one ramp and the at least one counter-ramp being set up in such a way that, by way of a relative displacement between the adjusting ring and the counter-element, a change in the overall height is brought about and therefore a change in the return travel of the pressure plate can be compensated for; - a drive spindle with a spindle axis, with a spindle drive which is oriented along the spindle axis, with a drive pinion for rotating the drive spindle about the spindle axis, and with a spindle nut on the spindle drive, the spindle nut which is mounted on the spindle drive performing a translational movement along the spindle axis as a consequence of a rotation of the spindle drive; characterized by the following components: - a plurality of centring pins (20, 21, 22) which can be fastened in a component which is fixed with respect to the counter-element and, when assembled, centre the adjusting ring and mount it in the case of a rotation, - a resiliently flexible traction element for connecting the spindle nut to the adjusting ring, it being possible for an adjusting force to be introduced into the adjusting ring by means of the traction element in an inclined manner with respect to the spindle axis, the resiliently flexible traction element having, when assembled, an inclination per se via a deflection means which is fixed relative to the drive spindle. - an adjusting ring which can be rotated about a rotational axis with at least one ramp for compensating for a wear-induced change in a return travel of a pressure plate; - a counter-element with at least one counter-ramp which corresponds to the at least one ramp, which ramps (51, 10) together form a ramp pair, the adjusting ring and the counter-element with the ramp pair placed on top of one another forming an overall height, and the at least one ramp and the at least one counter-ramp being set up in such a way that, by way of a relative displacement between the adjusting ring and the counter-element, a change in the overall height is brought about and therefore a change in the return travel of the pressure plate can be compensated for; - a drive spindle with a spindle axis, with a spindle drive which is oriented along the spindle axis, with a drive pinion for rotating the drive spindle about the spindle axis, and with a spindle nut on the spindle drive, the spindle nut which is mounted on the spindle drive performing a translational movement along the spindle axis as a consequence of a rotation of the spindle drive; characterized by the following components: - a plurality of centring pins (20, 21, 22) which can be fastened in a component which is fixed with respect to the counter-element and, when assembled, centre the adjusting ring and mount it in the case of a rotation, - a resiliently flexible traction element for connecting the spindle nut to the adjusting ring, it being possible for an adjusting force to be introduced into the adjusting ring by means of the traction element in an inclined manner with respect to the spindle axis, the resiliently flexible traction element having, when assembled, an inclination per se via a deflection means which is fixed relative to the drive spindle. - a plurality of centring pins (20, 21, 22) which can be fastened in a component which is fixed with respect to the counter-element and, when assembled, centre the adjusting ring and mount it in the case of a rotation, - a resiliently flexible traction element for connecting the spindle nut to the adjusting ring, it being possible for an adjusting force to be introduced into the adjusting ring by means of the traction element in an inclined manner with respect to the spindle axis, the resiliently flexible traction element having, when assembled, an inclination per se via a deflection means which is fixed relative to the drive spindle.
