Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing stranded cables from strand elements with alternating twist directions (SZ stranding). One or more storage disks can be disposed between a guide that receives the strand elements and a stranding disk. The stranding disk and the storage disks can be driven in alternating directions. At least one torsion element drives the storage disks with a respective rotation speed that decreases with increasing distance between the storage disks and the stranding disk. The torsion element can be driven at several locations with a different rotation speed.

Apparatus for manufacturing a stranded cable from strand elements with alternating twist directions (SZ stranding), comprising:
- a guide adapted to receive the strand elements;
- a stranding disk that can be driven in alternating directions;
- a plurality of storage disks disposed along a common longitudinal axis between the guide and the stranding disk;
- and
- at least one torsion element extending parallel to the common longitudinal axis and being driven at several locations with different rotation speeds,
- wherein the torsion element drives the plurality of storage disks with different disk rotation speeds that decrease with increasing distance between a storage disk and the stranding disk.
