An injection device is for squeezing out a dosage of injection liquid from a container and includes: a container configured to hold the liquid a housing defining a longitudinal central axis first and second components wherein the first and second component move relative to one another when the liquid is squeezed out an injection spring configured to at least partially release stored energy to cause the dosage of the liquid to be squeezed out a setting device to set a rate at which the liquid is squeezed out the setting device influencing the energy required for moving the second component relative to the first the first and second component being moveable relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal central axis when the liquid is squeezed out and, the setting device, when setting the rate, acting on a rotary position of the first component relative to the second.
