Abstract
An arrangement for measuring the distance of two oppositely arranged roller ways of a continuous casting plant comprises a measuring body capable of being pulled or pushed through the section between the roller ways. The measuring body has oppositely arranged contact surfaces touching the surface areas of the rollers, the distance-measuring device being fastened within the measuring body. In order to be able to determine the distance of the rollers with the greatest accuracy possible also with rollers that are not arranged opposite each other, the contact surfaces of the measuring body are comprised of elastically deformable spring steel strips whose longitudinal extension is larger than the axial distance of three neighbouring rollers of one of the roller ways. The spring steel strips are pressable towards the surface areas of the rollers by pressure units arranged between them and the distance-measuring device contacts the inner side of one of the spring steel strips.
