Abstract: A damping valve device for a vibration damper has a restriction in connection with a valve element movable from an open position into a restriction position depending on the flow velocity of a damping medium inside the restriction. The valve element, as a variable-diameter annular element, moves in closing direction with increasing flow velocity of the damping medium within an annular groove of a valve support. The annular groove is constructed as a pressure space having at least one inflow orifice and at least one outflow orifice. The valve element is positioned at a radial distance from an annular groove base by centering elements.
