Abstract
A device for adjusting the size of the gap between casting rolls wherein the rolls are situated in bearings in supporting frames which are a variable distance apart. At least one of the supporting frames features, at its corner regions facing the other frame, bearing plates having faces inclined at an angle (w) to the axis (A) of a spindle. Moveable adjusting blocks are provided with wedge-shaped surfaces which rest against the inclined faces. Each of the adjusting blocks feature teeth which mate with threads on a spindle, the threads running counter to each other. As the spindle is rotated the blocks are moved either toward or away from each other thus raising or lowering the at least one supporting frame.
