Abstract

A roller apron or strand guide assembly for a continuous casting installation for casting metals, especially steel, in particular equipped with driving- and/or straightening rollers, wherein in the direction of travel of the strand immediately following pairs of rollers are mutually independently displaceable along comb-like arranged guides dispositioned to both sides of the machine frame transversely with respect to the direction of travel of the cast strand. The bearings of both rollers of a roller pair are each mounted upon a transverse support, which transverse support cooperates with the comb-like arranged guides and can be moved by pressure cylinder means. Further, at least the transverse support can be adjusted by non-driven rollers against stops provided at the machine frame.
