    Abstract: A wire stranding machine is provided, being capable of stranding the wire materials evenly and uniformly even if two wire materials are used, by installing the capstan assembly outside of the rotary structure on the wire incoming side. A rotary structure having the winding drum inside of a flyer bow is supported by main shafts, and the capstan assembly is disposed adjacent to the main shaft on the wire incoming side. The capstan assembly includes a pair of capstan members consisting of main and auxiliary capstans, each having plural grooves on the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the main capstans are set opposite to each other. The capstan assembly is so arranged that the main and auxiliary capstans are set on the mounting member of the main shaft supporting the rotary structure and disposed parallel in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the main shaft. The main capstans are adapted to rotate at the same speed but in opposite directions to each other.
