Plate armature for a tilting armature valve, having: an armature body, which can be mounted at the tilting armature valve by means of a bearing at an end face of the armature body and is movable from a first position into a second position by activation of an electric coil element, a plate armature damping device having at least one damping body (371, 372), which is fixed to the plate armature, with at least one damping material which, on an impact movement of the plate armature in the direction of a counter-element, is elastically deformable on impact on the counter-element, wherein the plate armature damping device is mounted on a surface of the armature body, so that the at least one damping body (371, 372), on the impact movement of the plate armature, is elastically deformed from the first position into the second position on impact on the counter-element, characterised in that the at least one damping body (371, 372) has a geometric contour comprising at least one first bulge and one second bulge arranged adjacent to each other on a surface - facing the counter-element - of the at least one damping body (371, 372), each of them having a curved linear extent along the surface of the at least one damping body (371, 372) and being designed such that, on the impact movement of the plate armature, the volume of the at least one damping body (371, 372) increases, wherein, during the impact movement of the plate armature, initially a first part of the damping material is elastically deformed at the first and the second bulge (311, 312) and, in the further course of the impact movement, a second part of the damping material, which is larger than the first part, is elastically deformed. an armature body, which can be mounted at the tilting armature valve by means of a bearing at an end face of the armature body and is movable from a first position into a second position by activation of an electric coil element, a plate armature damping device having at least one damping body (371, 372), which is fixed to the plate armature, with at least one damping material which, on an impact movement of the plate armature in the direction of a counter-element, is elastically deformable on impact on the counter-element, wherein the plate armature damping device is mounted on a surface of the armature body, so that the at least one damping body (371, 372), on the impact movement of the plate armature, is elastically deformed from the first position into the second position on impact on the counter-element, characterised in that the at least one damping body (371, 372) has a geometric contour comprising at least one first bulge and one second bulge arranged adjacent to each other on a surface - facing the counter-element - of the at least one damping body (371, 372), each of them having a curved linear extent along the surface of the at least one damping body (371, 372) and being designed such that, on the impact movement of the plate armature, the volume of the at least one damping body (371, 372) increases, wherein, during the impact movement of the plate armature, initially a first part of the damping material is elastically deformed at the first and the second bulge (311, 312) and, in the further course of the impact movement, a second part of the damping material, which is larger than the first part, is elastically deformed.
