Abstract
A device for making a wire strand with changing twist direction (SZ-stranding) from individual wires, includes a fixed guide (1) provided with bores for receiving the individual wires and a plurality of spaced apart storing disks (4) capable of being driven in changing directions and also having bores for receiving the individual wires to be stranded, and a laying disk (6) capable of being driven via drive disks (7) and transmission members (9), with a drive (8) common to at least a portion of the drive disks (7) being provided, wherein between the drive (8) and the drive disks (7) there is disposed a torsionally elastic shaft (15) having an arbitrary cross-section.
Claims8
A device for making a wire strand with changing twist direction (SZ-stranding) from individual wires, comprising:
- a fixed guide provided with bores for passage of individual wires;
- a plurality of storing disks trailing the fixed guide and arranged in spaced-apart disposition, said storing disks having bores for passage of the individual wires to be stranded;
- a laying disk trailing the plurality of storing disks;
- and
- drive means for operating the storage disks and the laying disk in changing directions, said drive means including a plurality of drive disks and a like plurality of transmission members, said drive disks and said transmission members being so positioned that each of the storage disks and the laying disk are operatively connected to a different one of the drive disks via a different one of the intermediate transmission members, said drive means further including a motor operatively connected to at least some of the drive disks, and a torsionally elastic shaft having a random cross-section and extending between the motor and the drive disks.
