A spring plate arrangement for vibration damper with damper tube, with spring plate for supporting a suspension spring, the spring plate having a contact portion circumferentially contacting a circumference of the damper tube, a receiving portion adjoining the contact portion via a shoulder and radially spaced from damper tube to form an annular space, and a supporting portion adjoining receiving portion for axially supporting the suspension spring, with a retaining ring for securing spring plate at the damper tube in an axial direction AR. The damper tube has a receiving groove arranged inside the annular space and where retaining ring is received. The retaining ring has at least one radially protruding clamping contour at its circumference which cooperates with the receiving portion in an engaging manner to secure the spring plate against rotation.
A spring plate arrangement for a vibration damper, having a damper tube with a spring plate for supporting a suspension spring, wherein the spring plate has a contact portion which circumferentially contacts an outer circumference of the damper tube, a receiving portion having a cylindrical inner contour which adjoins the contact portion via a shoulder and is radially spaced a constant distance from the damper tube so as to form an annular space, and a supporting portion adjoining the receiving portion for axially supporting the suspension spring, with a retaining ring for securing the spring plate at the damper tube in an axial direction (AR), wherein the damper tube has a receiving groove which is arranged inside of the annular space and in which the retaining ring is received, and wherein the retaining ring has at least one radially protruding clamping contour at its outer circumference and the clamping contour cooperates with the receiving portion in a frictionally engaging manner to secure the spring plate against rotation,
