Abstract: A mass body that includes two weights that face each other via a support member is provided. Each of the two weights is formed with a recessed portion that is recessed from an outside surface toward an inside surface. An additional weight formed of a material that is higher in specific gravity than the weight is attached to the recessed portion. Consequently, the weight of the mass body can be increased without increasing the radial length or the thickness of the mass body (weights). As a result, the vibration damping effect can be improved while suppressing an increase in size of the device.
