A braiding or stranding machine for the braiding or the stranding of a strand shaped material 2 comprises a rotor yoke curved radially outward and rotatably around an axis of rotation, the two ends of which lie on or near the axis of rotation and the strand shaped material 2 is moved along the longitudinal direction thereof during operation of the braiding or stranding machine. The rotor yoke comprises a transport device 1 for the strand shaped material 2, which is provided to contact the strand shaped material 2 on only one part of the longitudinal extension of the rotor yoke and to move at the contact surface with the strand shaped material 2 in the same direction as that of the strand shaped material 2. According to the invention, the transport device 1 is adapted to contact the strand shaped material 2 only on a part of the longitudinal extension of the rotor yoke. In this way, the contact surface between the transport device 1 and the strand shaped material 2, and thus the extension of the transport device 1 itself, can be reduced, by which means the aerodynamic drag of the transport device 1 also decreases.
