Quick stranding machine

Abstract

PCT No. PCT/DE78/00041 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 21, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 20, 1979 PCT Filed Dec. 16, 1978 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00414 PCT Pub. Date July 12, 1979 A high-speed stranding machine has a hollow rotor, at least one spool carrier arranged in the rotor independently of the rotation of the rotor, and an unbalanced mass preventing rotation of the spool carrier together with the rotation of the rotor and formed as a counterweight. The spool carrier with a spool carried thereby has a center of gravity substantially coinciding with the axis of rotation of the rotor, and the counterweight is connected with the spool carrier in such a manner that the counterweight can independently rotate about the axis of rotation of the rotor, and can be disconnected from the spool carrier upon exceeding a predetermined torque in a connecting element which connects the counterweight with the spool carrier.
