A two-for-one twisting machine is provided and includes includes a spindle having a yarn brake. The yarn brake includes a brake housing, a brake cartridge having opposed ends, first and second brake rings disposed within the brake housing, a guide conduit and a yarn intake tube extending within the guide conduit. A brake cartridge of the yarn brake has a first tube section, a second tube section, and a third tube section disposed axially intermediate the first tube section and the second tube section. The tube sections are all arranged in resiliently biased telescoping manner within one another such that the second tube section is resiliently biased in one axial direction outwardly from the third tube section and the first tube section is resiliently biased outwardly from the third tube section in an opposite axial direction opposite to the one axial direction.
