Abstract
In a strand guiding stand including oppositely arranged stand parts connected by drawing anchors and on which strand guiding rollers are journaled, at least one of the stand parts is displaceable, and fixable, by a displacement device along the drawing anchors. The displacement device includes at least one bushing on each drawing anchor, with a helical supporting surface. Each bushing leans against a fixed abutment of the drawing anchor and the displaceable stand part is supported on the bushing. In order to prevent a change in the distance of the oppositely arranged strand guiding rollers and to be able to adjust the distance automatically merely by rotating the bushings, the helical supporting surface of each bushing has an angle of inclination that is larger than the pertaining angle of friction. The bushings are motionally coupled and synchronously turnable by an adjustment drive fixable in different positions, and are provided only on the ends of the drawing anchors that penetrate the displaceable stand part. The displaceable stand part is pressable against the bushings by a clamping device.
