Abstract

A device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel material, to elongated products in a multistrand casting apparatus with a plurality of continuous casting molds which are oscillatingly driven in an oscillating frame (2) by means of leaf springs (4) whereby the leaf springs (4) extend transversely to the casting direction (1) and serve for guide and weight compensation. The smallest possible strand spacing “A” is provided for that on a longitudinal foundation frame (5) to housings (6a) in the form of compact flat cassettes (6) are secured one behind the other in the strand travel direction. In the housings upper and lower leaf spring pairs (4a; 4b) run transversely to the cast strands (3) and the oscillating strands (11) engage the leaf spring pairs (4a; 4b), whereby a front oscillating drive (11a) works synchronously with the rear oscillating drive (11b).
