A system () for winding multiple elongated elements () simultaneously under a substantially same tension on a single spool () comprises one pendulum arm () and one set of actuators () acting on the pendulum arm () and balancing with the sum of tensions of each elongated element (). The system () further comprises one or more balancing arms (): A first balancing arm () is attached to the pendulum arm (), the other balancing arms (if any) are attached to the first balancing arm (). Each balancing arm () is pivotable upon a balancing arm axis (). A first set of one or more reversing pulleys () is positioned at one side of the first balancing arm axis () and a second set of one or more reversing pulleys () is positioned at the other side of said balancing arm axis (). Each of the reversing pulleys () guides an elongated element () to be wound.
