Damper devices, machine tools and method of assembling damper device

A method of assembling a damper device for a machine tool, the method comprising:

• providing a tubular element having a cavity and a central axis, the tubular element comprising a first surface;
• providing a damping mass arranged within the cavity and movable radially with respect to the central axis and relative to the tubular element;
• providing at least one spring element supporting the damping mass relative to the tubular element, the damping mass and the at least one spring element being arranged to attenuate kinetic vibration energy of the damper device;
• providing at least one fixed part having a fixed interior portion inside the cavity and a second surface, the fixed interior portion being fitted into the cavity by a transition fit or an interference fit;
• providing a vibration damping material between the first surface and the second surface, the vibration damping material being arranged to attenuate potential vibration energy of the damper device;
• and
• positioning the first surface and the second surface relative to each other such that the vibration damping material is substantially evenly compressed between the first surface and the second surface.
