Abstract

A strand guiding segment for slab casting plants with a guiding width for the cast strand is adjustable between guide rollers of a frame on a fixed side and a frame on a detachable side, wherein the frames interact with adjusting units for overcoming the ferrostatic pressure and for adjusting the desired sectional width of the strand. The adjusting units are four independently adjustable pressure cylinders arranged outside of the radiation range at the upper side of the segment, wherein the distance between the segment middle and cylinder which determines the segment width is reduced on both sides by the dimension of the cylinder which has been moved to the upper side of the segment. The segment crossbeams are provided with radiation protection plates instead of water cooling means and cooled side frames are laterally flanged to the bottom frames.
