In a strand guide to be used in a continuous casting plant and having oppositely arranged frame parts, drawing anchors connecting the frame parts and strand guiding rollers journaled in the frame parts, at least one of the frame parts being a displaceable frame part which is movable along the drawing anchors and fixable thereon, the improvement comprising:
- two rotatable bushings having helical supporting faces provided on each drawing anchor and rotatable therearound, the displaceable frame part being located on said drawing anchors between said two rotatable bushings;
- two fixed abutments provided on each drawing anchor on opposite sides of the displaceable frame part, the fixed abutments securing the two rotatable bushings on each drawing anchor;
- and
- sliding elements provided on opposite sides of the displaceable frame part on each drawing anchor for contacting the helical supporting faces of the rotatable bushings and translating the rotary motion of the rotatable bushings into a displacement of the displaceable frame part on each drawing anchor.
