These  rotating  Pay - Offs are especially designed to operate together with Single-Twist stranders or similar machines to give 100%  back twist  and tension control for sensible products like high-speed data or communication cables.

Rotating Pay-Off for four reels with 100% or variable backtwist. Flyer with deflection pulley and reel have separate drives, tension control via rotating tension sensor which is directly controlling the reel drive. This design gives very high operating speed >1000RPM with effective tension control down to 3N for sensible wires. Easy loading by Swing-out design of the reel supports, electric hoist at the top for all reels.
+ can operate at constant low tension up to high speeds.
- more expensive as it has additional drive and sensors.

Rotating Pay-Off for single reel. Constant tension control by pneumatic disc-brake via diameter measurement. The reel is rotating cross to its axis, this gives improved path for the wire but limits the speed. Pay-Offs for reel sizes between 400 mm and 1600 mm flange diameter.
+ less deflection of pay-off wires
- relatively low speed compared to other designs

The Single-Twist stranding machine can also be equipped to serve as rotating Pay-Off. In this case the machine can be used as well as stranding machine to produce the core strand, and then pay-off this cable to a second Single Twister in Tandem operation with synchronised rotor speed. This option is available for all SE-sizes.
+ Pay-Off can be used as fully functional stranding machine
- expensive compared to a standard Pay-Off
