Abstract

A roller stand to be used in continuous casting plants comprises two strand guide parts arranged opposite each other so as to guide the strand between them, which strand guide parts are held together by drawing anchors. The roller carrying means of one of the strand guide parts are movable relative to the strand by piston driving means. Overload protection means are provided within the area of the piston driving means and spacers maintain the distance between the opposing rollers.
