Abstract

A continuous casting mold includes two long side walls which are arranged opposite each other on support frames. For the purpose of adjusting the width of the mold, short side walls which can be moved toward each other are tightly clamped between the long side walls. Mechanical clamping elements which are in connection with hydraulic piston-cylinder units are provided for chucking the short side walls between the long side walls. The support frames with the long side walls are arranged in the continuous casting mold and are connected to the clamping elements in such a way that they can be moved toward each other as well as apart from each other.
