Coupling device for a drive device, and drive device

An assembly, comprising:

• a device configured to machine pipes or pipe ends;
• a drive device;
• and
• a coupling device providing force-related connection of the device configured to machine machining pipes or pipe ends to the drive device,
• wherein the coupling device has at least one force transmission device with at least one force transmission element for transmitting rotary forces to at least one force absorption element of at least one force absorption device with respect to a drive axis, wherein the at least one force transmission device is configured to be brought into connection optionally and alternately with force absorption devices which each differ in design with respect to the at least one force absorption element thereof, wherein the force transmission device has force transmission elements in a form of toothed rings on at least one toothed ring.
