In a first embodiment, the invention relates to a stranding machine for wires having two wrap-around rollers having wrap-around tracks arranged on the circumference thereof, whereby the wire can be guided in such a way that the wire runs through the first and second wrap-around tracks preferably in alternation in preferably 8-shaped or 0-shaped wraps. In a second embodiment, the stranding machine has a winding device for winding the wire onto a reel having a laying device that can be moved along a movement axis parallel to the reel axis and having a plurality of rotatably supported deflecting rollers, whereby the wire can be guided in such a way that the wire runs onto and/or from each of the deflecting rollers substantially in the plane of rotation of the deflecting roller. In this way, the produced wire has lower twist and lower torsional stresses, which makes the further processing of the wire, in particular the winding, assembly, crimping, and extrusion of a plastic insulation around the wire easier and which increases the number of possible bending reversal cycles.

The invention relates to a method for producing a stranded inner conductor (1), and to a coaxial cable (9). In a first step, a stranded inner conductor (2) is provided, which consists of several wires (3) twisted together. Then the stranded inner conductor (1) is rotary swaged by means of a rotary swaging device (10). In a further step, the rotary swaged stranded inner conductor (3) is enclosed with a dielectric (4). In a further step, the dielectric (4) is enclosed with an outer conductor (5) and a cable sheath (6).

A hybrid strand includes a core and outer wires arranged around the core, wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, wherein the compressed outer wires include a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel, and the core is a fiber core. A corresponding production method produces such a hybrid strand.

An installation for compacting strands or a preform including strands, the strands or the preform including at least a first portion in which the strands are twisted at a first angle and a second portion in which the strands are twisted at a second angle different from the first angle, the installation including a mould which includes the strands or the preform, and wherein the mould has at least a first part in which the first portion of the strands or of the preform is disposed, having a first thickness and a second part in which the second portion of the strands or of the preform is disposed, having a second thickness different from the first thickness.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a strop (10) which includes a first eyelet (12a), a second eyelet (12b) and a slender central body (14) which extends from the first eyelet (12a) up to the second eyelet (12b), the strop (10) comprising a core (16) surrounded by a protective tubular sheath (18) which successively has a first stub (22a), a first hole (24a), a first inter-hole portion (26a), a second hole (28a), a central section (30), a third hole (28b), a second inter-hole portion (26b), a fourth hole (24b) and a second stub (22b), which method is characterised in that it comprises at least a first priming step which consists in fitting a belt (32) into the sheath (18), so that the belt (32) forms a closed ring which projects from the first hole (24a) and from the second hole (28a) of the sheath (18) to create the first eyelet (12a) and which projects from the third hole (28b) and from the fourth hole (24b) of the sheath (18) to create the second eyelet (12b), a second connection step which consists in connecting a reel (36) of a wire (20) on the belt (32), and a third step of filling the sheath (18) which consists in driving the belt (32) in rotation to unwind the wire (20) reel (36) and form the core (16) of the strop (10).

A method for manufacturing a strop (10) including a first eyelet (12a), a second eyelet (12b) and a slender central body (14). The strop comprises a core (16) surrounded by a tubular sheath (18) having a first stub (22a), a first hole (24a), a first inter-hole portion (26a), a second hole (28a), a central section (30), a third hole (28b), a second inter-hole portion (26b), a fourth hole (24b) and a second stub (22b). The method comprises a first priming step of fitting a belt (32) into the sheath (18), to form-a closed ring projecting from the first and second hole (24a, 28a) to create the first eyelet (12a) and projecting from the third and fourth hole (28b, 24b) to create the second eyelet (12b), a second connection step of connecting a reel (36) on the belt (32), and a third step of filling the sheath (18) driving the belt in rotation.
