STRAND GUIDING ELEMENT FOR GUIDING AND SUPPORTING A METALLIC TRAIN IN A continuous casting machine

摘要

The invention relates to a strand-guiding element (1) for guiding and supporting a metal strand in a continuous casting machine, comprising an inner frame (2), an outer frame (3), wherein each of the inner frame (2) and the outer frame (3) a plurality of strand guide rollers (4) have for guiding and supporting the strand, at least one bearing (5) for connection of the inner frame (2) with the outer frame (3) and an adjusting device (8) for changing a distance between the inner frame (2) and the outer frame (3), wherein the change in the distance in a direction transverse to the casting direction (25). Object of the invention, either to reduce the mechanical play between the inner frame (2) and the outer frame (3) of the strand guide member (1) transversely to the casting direction (25) of the strand significantly or completely play-free connection between the inner frame (2) and to create the outer frame (3). This object is achieved by a device, wherein the bearing (5) at least one rod member (9), whose first end (10) in the inner frame (2) and whose second end (11) in the outer frame (3) fixed are clamped, wherein the rod-shaped component (9) receives the movement of the inner frame (2) relative to the outer frame (3). Through the bilateral clamping of the rod-shaped member (9), that is blocking the degrees of freedom for the displacements and rotations, the inner frame (2) to the outer frame (3) is connected without play together in the region of the bearing (5).
