Multi-plate clutch

Wet-running multi-plate clutch (1) comprising a number of inner plates (2) and a number of outer plates (3) disposed in an alternating arrangement in the axial direction, and every inner plate (2) has an inner plate main body (5) on either side of which a first friction lining (6) is disposed respectively, and every outer plate (3) has an outer plate main body (7) on either side of which a second friction lining (8) is disposed respectively, and the first friction linings (6) are located entirely underneath the second friction linings (8) in the radial direction so that the first friction linings (6) move into frictional contact with the outer plate main bodies (7) when the multi-plate clutch (1) is engaged and the second friction linings (8) move into frictional contact with the inner plate main bodies (5) when the multi-plate clutch (1) is engaged, wherein the first friction linings (6) respectively have at least one first groove (13) with a groove depth of up to 100% of a friction lining thickness of the first friction linings (6) and the second friction linings (8) have no or respectively have at least one second groove (16) having a smaller cross-sectional surface area, as viewed in the longitudinal extension of the second grooves (16), than the first grooves (13) as viewed in the same direction, and/or the first grooves (3) are disposed offset from the second grooves (16) in the circumferential direction (15).
