A twisting flyer for a single-twist cable stranding machine, which is adapted to rotate about a rotation axis and includes two shoulders connected by crossmembers, and an articulated structure which has in turns a first carriage provided with elements for translation on first of the crossmembers and which supports a guide pulley for a cable, and a second carriage provided with elements for translation on second of the crossmembers, which supports a counterweight for the guide pulley The twisting flyer further includes a first pair of rods which are hinged with one end thereof to the first carriage and with another end to a second pair of rods which are hinged with one end thereof to the second carriage and with another end to the first pair of rods, balancing weights at hinge regions between the first pair of rods and the second pair of rods.

A stranding machine is provided for producing a cord from a plurality of wires, preferably metal wires. The stranding machine has a stranding device for stranding the wires, including at least one rotatably mounted deflecting roller for deflecting the cord and at least one guide device for guiding the cord. The guide device is arranged in such a way that the cord can be guided on a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the cord is pressed against a first flank of the deflecting roller. As the cord is deflected by the deflecting roller, the cord moves from the first flank into the roller base of the deflecting roller.
