Abstract
The present invention concerns a damping apparatus for the damping of vibrations in tool holders, machine elements and work pieces in machine tools and in other objects that are exposed to unwanted vibrations. The damping apparatus is adapted to be provided in or on the object and includes a substantially cylindrically shaped damping body with a boring going there through and a longitudinal central body that is rigidly connectable to the object that is to be damped. The damping body is connected to the longitudinal central body through elastic elements. The connection is made such that the elastic elements are substantially exposed to shear forces during damping.
