Disclosed is a steel wire rope for conveyor belts. The steel wire rope includes a central steel wire, a steel wire layer externally wound on the central steel wire, and a plurality of external steel wire strands. Each external steel wire strand includes a core steel wire and N external steel wires. The central steel wire, the steel wire layer externally wound on the central steel wire, and the plurality of external steel wire strands are wound into a steel wire rope for conveyor belts in one step. The steel wire layer is externally wound on the outer side of the central steel wire, the external steel wire strands are wound to wrap the outer side of the steel wire layer, and the external steel wire strands are in line contact with the steel wire layer.

A stranding element (V) includes a stationary storage container (2) for the material to be stranded, and at least one rotating guiding device (1, 5, 6, 6a) for guiding the material to the stranding region (3) substantially parallel to the rotational axis of guiding device (1, 5, 6, 6a). The guiding device (1, 5, 6, 6a) is rotatably mounted in support structure (10), in particular in bearing arrangement (L). The bearing arrangement (L) lies completely within the circle of rotation of the material, and is secured to support structure (10) via a retaining arrangement (H) extending from the bearing arrangement (L) radially outwards beyond the circle of rotation of the material, and axially spaced from the guiding device (1, 5, 6, 6a). The retaining arrangement (H) has a passage that opens temporarily to allow the material to pass through in the circumferential direction and that follows the circle of rotation of the material.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for aligning prefabricated cable ends (111, 121) of a cable strand (100), twisted in particular, with at least two cables (110, 120) in the correct rotational position, wherein the entire cable strand (100) is rotated by means of a rotary gripping device (30) on a section (101) which is connected to the cable ends and is rotated by means of a rotary gripping device (30) in particular, and each cable (110) that has already been aligned remains secured in its ideal rotational position in a section (112) of its free cable end (111), in particular untwisted, by means of a respective cable grip (10, 20).
