1. A vibration dampening device for manufacturing a turbomachine rotor by rotational friction welding, said rotor comprising a first disc and a second disc extending coaxially along a main axis of the rotor, each disc comprising a hub having an internal surface, the device comprising: a first clamping device configured to be positioned coaxially to the hub of the first disc and including a pair of radially opposite jaws suited to come into contact with the internal surface of said hub of the first disc, a hydraulic block which radially displaces each of the jaws between a rest position, in which the jaws are retracted, and a clamping position, in which the jaws are extended radially from the rest position in order to come to bear against the internal surface of the hub, a rod extending along an axis of the vibration dampening device, and a support connected to the rod and extending radially from the rod, the support being stationary and provided with a pad with a shape complementary to the internal surface of the hub,wherein each of the jaws has a radially external surface configured to come into contact with the internal surface of the hub, said radially external surface being covered with a lining made from a material able to dampen vibrations,wherein the jaws have a length of a magnitude of about a third of an inner diameter of the hub and a thickness of a magnitude of about two millimeters,wherein the radially external surface of the jaws and an outer surface of the pad are circumferentially concentric about the axis of the vibration dampening device,wherein, the jaws are disposed on lateral sides of the support, andwherein circumferential spaces are provided between the jaws and the support. 2. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, wherein the rotor comprises a third disc, wherein the device comprises a second clamping device configured to be positioned coaxially with the first clamping device and facing the hub of the second disc, andwherein all of the clamping devices are independent from one another. 3. The vibration dampening device according to claim 2, wherein the rod passes through all of the first and second clamping devices in order to position the first and second clamping devices in relation to one another. 4. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, further comprising a spacer which axially positions the first clamping device on the vibration dampening device along the main axis. 5. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, wherein the lining is made from a viscoelastic elastomer material. 6. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, wherein the jaws are made of steel or aluminum. 7. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, wherein a width of the jaws is less than or equal to a width of the hub of the first disc. 8. The vibration dampening device according to claim 1, wherein the support is disposed above the hydraulic block, and the jaws are disposed laterally of the hydraulic block. 9. A method of manufacture for a turbomachine rotor, said rotor comprising a first disc and a second disc extending coaxially along a main axis of the rotor and each disc comprising a hub having an internal surface, the method comprising: providing a vibration dampening device according to claim 1;positioning the hub of the first disc on the first clamping device of the vibration dampening device;placing the jaws of the first clamping device in the clamping position such that the jaws of the first clamping device are engaged with the internal surface of the hub of the first disc; andwelding the second disc onto the first disc by rotational friction. 10. The method of manufacture according to claim 9, wherein the rotor comprises a third disc comprising a hub, and the method further comprises: positioning a second clamping device of the vibration dampening device coaxially to the first clamping device, the second clamping device including jaws which bear against the internal surface of the hub of the second disc;positioning the hubs of the first and second discs on the first clamping device and the second clamping device respectively;placing the jaws of the first clamping device against the internal surface of the hub of the first disc, and placing the jaws of the second clamping device against the internal surface of the hub of the second disc; andwelding the third disc onto the second disc by rotational friction.
