Abstract

A device for the continuous casting of steel, consisting of a continuous casting mold which oscillates in the casting direction, is mounted on springs clamped at both ends which extend transverse to the direction of casting, and is connected with a hydraulic oscillation drive. The the hydraulic oscillation drives are servo-hydraulic cylinders, arranged in a longitudinal sectional plane placed through the continuous casting mold laterally alongside the continuous casting mold, the servo-hydraulic cylinders are firmly connected, free of play, to a support frame and with the continuous casting mold.
