Abstract

A continuous casting mold includes an oscillation mechanism and a guiding mechanism supporting the continuous casting mold relative to a stationary supporting structure, the guiding mechanism being formed as a disc-shaped spring. In order to ensure perfect guidance by employing a simply structured oscillation mechanism and to markedly reduce the masses to be moved, at least one disc-shaped spring formed as an annular disc peripherally surrounds the continuous casting mold, which annular disc by the inner edge region is connected with the continuous casting mold and by the outer edge region is connected with the stationary supporting structure.
