Abstract
A roller apron framework for support- or drive rolls of a continuous casting installation wherein at least at one strand guide path each two rollers or rolls which follow one another in the direction of travel of the continuously cast strand are mounted in a common pivotal yoke and such yoke can be moved by piston-cylinder units substantially transversely with respect to the guided surface of the strand. The yoke is provided with impact surfaces and can be applied by means of the piston-cylinder units against support surfaces associated with each roller, the support surfaces being arranged at a stationary frame and limiting the path of application or adjustment of the rollers at the strand.
Claims8
A roller apron framework for support- or drive rolls of a continuous casting installation for casting a strand moving in a predetermined direction of travel along at least one guide path for the strand, a common pivotable yoke, two successive rollers following one another in the direction of travel of the strand located at the region of the at least one guide path in said common pivotable yoke, piston-cylinder means for moving said yoke substantially transversely with respect to a surface of the strand guided by said rollers, said yoke being provided with impact surfaces, support surfaces associated with each roller, a stationary frame, said support surfaces being provided at the stationary frame and limiting the path of application of the rollers with respect to the strand, the yoke provided with the impact surfaces can be applied by the piston-cylinder means in the direction of the support surfaces limiting the path of application of the rollers with respect to the strand.
