Disclosed is a magnetic coupling for transmitting torque along an axis of rotation, comprising two coupling parts which can be rotated relative to each other, wherein a drive-side coupling part has a drive-side permanent magnet and wherein an output-side coupling part has an output-side permanent magnet that lies opposite and at a distance from the drive-side permanent magnet along the axis of rotation. One of the coupling parts comprises a diverting element which is at least partially ferromagnetic and is non-rotatably connected to the permanent magnet of said coupling part and one part of the diverting element is disposed radially outside the opposite permanent magnet.
