A strand guiding segment for slab casting plants with a guiding width for the cast strand is adjustable between guide rollers of a frame on a fixed side and a frame on a detachable side, wherein the frames interact with adjusting units for overcoming the ferrostatic pressure and for adjusting the desired sectional width of the strand. The adjusting units are four independently adjustable pressure cylinders arranged outside of the radiation range at the upper side of the segment, wherein the distance between the segment middle and cylinder which determines the segment width is reduced on both sides by the dimension of the cylinder which has been moved to the upper side of the segment. The segment crossbeams are provided with radiation protection plates instead of water cooling means and cooled side frames are laterally flanged to the bottom frames.

Strand guiding segment for slab casting plants

A device for continuously casting steel includes a continuous casting mold supported in a lifting table and oscillating in the casting direction and at least one oscillation drive acting on the lifting table. The lifting table is constructed with guide blocks extending underneath the plane of the table and a stationary clamping block is arranged between the guide blocks. At least two individual resiliently soft plate springs are mounted along the short sides of the mold underneath the table plane in both sides of the clamping block and extending between the clamping block and the adjacent guide block, wherein the plate springs are arranged at a distance one above the other and so as to extend parallel relative to the corresponding plate springs arranged at the opposite short side of the mold.
