Abstract
A stranding station (1) for SZ type stranding machines intended for the helical stranding of a plurality of individual wire strands (4a-4g). The stranding station (1) is characterized in that the accumulation element (50) is mounted so as to be free to rotate about and free to move axially along a support shaft (54) driven in rotation, in that the mechanism for driving the accumulation element in rotation includes an intermediate element (60) attached to the support shaft (54), arranged downstream of the accumulation element (50) in relation to the forward motion direction of the wire strands (4a-4g), and in that the intermediate element (60) has a driving surface (62), this accumulation element being driven in rotation by friction on the driving surface (62).
