A device for coupling a coolant supply to a roller, in particular for continuous casting installations, wherein the roller is supported for rotation in a stationary pillow block, includes a sealing unit coupled to an axial roller borehole in a pressure-tight manner, and a stationary pillow block cover releasably attached to the pillow block and covering the axial roller borehole. An insert may extend through a center opening of the pillow block cover and be attached to the pillow block cover by a flange. The inside diameter of the center opening of the pillow block cover may be greater than an outside diameter of the bush to enable a removal of the sealing unit from the roller borehole without removal of the pillow block cover.

Device for coupling a coolant supply to a roller

A device for coupling a coolant supply to a roller, especially for continuous casting installations mounts the roller in a pillow block via journals and roller bearings. The roller can be supplied with a coolant via at least one axial borehole guided through the journals. The device includes a sealing unit, preferably in the form of an elastic sleeve, that can be fixed to the journal in a pressure-tight manner, in order to carry out the coupling to the borehole and a pillow block cover that can be fixed to the pillow block for covering the borehole and includes at least one coolant channel that can be connected to the coolant supply. An insert can be introduced into the pillow block cover in order to couple the borehole to the coolant channel.

The invention relates to a method of precise positioning of a number of cooperating cylinder or roller elements () of a roller or casing installation () relative to each other. In order to be able to bring off a rapid and precise alignment of the cylinder or roller elements, according to the invention, it is provided that with a measuring apparatus (), a distance (a, a, a, a) between at least three reference points (), which are provided directly or indirectly on each of the cylinder roller elements (), and the measuring apparatus is measured, and that dependent on measurement results, adjusting elements () on each cylinder or roller element () are so operated that the distances (a, a, a, a) between the reference points () and the measuring apparatus conform to predetermined values to a best possible extent, wherein the measurement points () of each cylinder or roller element () are arranged, directly or indirectly on a carrier element () of the cylinder or roller element (). The invention further relates to a roller or casting installation, in particular for carrying out the method.
