Abstract

An oscillating device for continuous casting molds (1) for casting molten metal particularly, molten steel material includes a plurality of springs (5) or spring assemblies (5a) extending between a stationary mold frame (2) and connection or fixing points (4) for supporting a continuous casting mold (1) and are set in control oscillations such as, e.g., resonance oscillations by drive pairs, wherein by using of springs (5), spring assemblies (5a) or spring bundles (5b) formed of fiber composites (6), damaging corrosion by chemicals during continuous casting is prevented.
