<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-quality twisted pair cable with uniform pitch having no slack even in the case where a pair of electric cables has variation in length. <P>SOLUTION: A back tension mechanism 1 for twisting an electric cable pair comprises a pair of electric cable clamps 2, a pair of movable substrates 3 on which the pair of electric cable clamps is separately fixed, a common fixture substrate 5 with which the pair of movable substrates is slidably engaged in a longitudinal direction of the electric cable along a guide rail 4, and a pair of air cylinders 6 for back tension for connecting the common fixture substrate and the pair of movable substrates. One end of a pair of electric cables 8 and the other end thereof are fixed by the pair of clamps 2 and another electric cable clamp 21, respectively. The pair of air cylinders 6 is operated to individually retract the pair of electric cable clamps 2 by the pair of movable substrates 3 with respect to the common fixture substrate 5, and the pair of electric cables is individually pulled with respect to the other electric cable clamp 21. In this state, the electric cable pair is twisted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
