Abstract
Adjustable damping valve for a vibration damper having a valve body having a pressure-loaded surface that acts in the lifting direction of the valve body and is impinged by an incident flow of damping medium from an opening inside a cross section limited by valve seat surface, and a surface operative in the closing direction is formed by a rear side of the valve body. A resulting force including a force of at least one valve spring and an actuating force of an actuator acts on the valve body. An additional surface of the valve body is pressure-loaded by damping medium by incident flow on the valve body in the closing direction of the valve body, or the valve body has a first pressure-loaded surface acting in the lifting direction, and a second pressure-loaded surface that acts in the lifting direction.
