A supporting and guiding stand for continuous casting plants comprises roller ways supporting the stand on two opposite sides. One of the roller ways is arranged on a first supporting framework and the other roller way is arranged on a second supporting framework braceable relative to the first supporting framework by means of a number of drawing anchors and connectable to the same. Adjustment drives are provided for adjusting the second supporting framework relative to the first supporting framework. For easily separating the two supporting frameworks and for detaching the two supporting frameworks from each other merely by using the adjustment drives, the latter are connected with the second supporting framework on the one hand and with the drawing anchors on the other hand, in a manner that the drawing anchors are detachably fastened to the first supporting framework and, after release of the connection means, are removable by means of the adjustment drives from the first supporting framework out of a position connecting the supporting frameworks and are retractable into the second supporting framework in a retraction position.

Supporting and guiding stand arrangement to be used in a continuous

A driving roll stand to be used in a continuous casting plant includes a lower roll and an upper roll arranged one above the other. At least one of the rollers is drivable by a rotary drive. The lower roll is mounted at a support supported on a base, and the upper roll is mounted at a lever hinged to the support and pivotably movable by an adjustment drive. The adjustment drive is hinged both to an upper part of the support rising above the lever in height and to the lever. Further the rotary drive of the upper and/or lower roll is mounted at this upper part of the support.
