Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetic braking device for the steel melt running within the continuous casting ingot in a continuous casting unit. The electromagnetic brake device comprises at least one coil (3) with a ferromagnetic core (5), arranged on the broad side of the ingot and at least one yoke (7) provided on the above. In order to reduce the oscillating masses on the ingot components and to permit the retro-fitting of electromagnetic brakes to conventional continuous casting machines, the electromagnetic brake, comprising yoke (7), coil (3) and ferromagnetic core (5), is embodied such as to pivot inwards or outwards, preferably by means of two unequal length, non-parallel levers in or on the continuous casting ingot, using an actuator (6).
Claims7
An electromagnetic brake device for a steel melt flowing into a continuous casting mold of a continuous casting apparatus, the electromagnetic brake device comprising:
- at least one coil juxtaposable with a broad side of the mold;
- a ferromagnetic core for the coil;
- at least one yoke (7) juxtaposed with the coil
- a mechanism having two unequal length nonparallel levers for swinging the yoke, coil and ferromagnetic core, into position or out of position in or on the continuous casting mold and at least one positioning element for displacing said mechanism.
