Abstract
A support structure with a vibration damper permits rotatably holding a rotatable body to be balanced, without applying undesirable constraining forces to the rotor or wheel. The vibration damper is an elastomeric element, for example a metal rubber composite element, inserted between the rotatable body and a support which itself is separately mounted by spring elastic mountings in a machine frame. The vibration damping element is effective between the rotatable body and the support if the element is inserted between a bearing and the rotatable body or if the element is inserted between the bearing and the support.
