Abstract

A driving roll stand to be used in a continuous casting plant includes a lower roll and an upper roll arranged one above the other. At least one of the rollers is drivable by a rotary drive. The lower roll is mounted at a support supported on a base, and the upper roll is mounted at a lever hinged to the support and pivotably movable by an adjustment drive. The adjustment drive is hinged both to an upper part of the support rising above the lever in height and to the lever. Further the rotary drive of the upper and/or lower roll is mounted at this upper part of the support.
