Abstract

The invention relates to a turning passage for the feed and discharge of cooling water to a disturbing system (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) in a water-cooled guide roller (1) of a continuation casting system. In order to seal the bearing (10) of the guide roller (1) with respect to the fed and discharged cooling water and to protect the rigid coponents of the turning passage which assist in the feed and discharge of cooling water from mechanical loading by the guide roller (1), a seal is mounted in a cover plate (15) supported on the bracket (11) of the bearing (10) so that it is sealed by a bushing (18), can rotate and is axially dispaceable. A flexible, annular, flange-shaped membrane (21) made of plastic or rubber is arranged between this bushing (18) and a flange (20) fastened to the end surface of the bearing journal (9), and its inner and outer edges are vulcanized thereto.
