Abstract
Support device for an assembly () of the casting rolls (') of a continuous metallic strip casting line comprising a movable support at each axial end. Such supports (′) are provided with a hydraulic bearing () to reduce friction during motion with respect to the assembly. Between the movable supports of one of the rolls () and the assembly is located a hydraulic actuator (), which thrusts the first roll (′) towards the second roll (′) against a stop (). Between the second roll (′) and the assembly there are located magnetostrictive actuators which thrust the second roll (′) against the first roll (). The device has a joint provided with a housing () inside which a telescopic tube () for the supply of the cooling water to conduits present in the rolls may slide. The housing () is connected to the assembly () by means of a bellows () allowing for oscillation.
