Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2659989A1] The invention relates to a strand guiding device and a method for guiding a metal strip, in particular a metal strip that has not yet solidified righ t through, in a continuous casting installation. Known strand guiding device s comprise a segment frame and at least one pair of opposing guiding rollers , between which the metal strip is guided. At least one of the guiding rolle rs takes the form of at least two part-rollers 122, 124 arranged next to eac h other. The part-rollers are mounted on the segment frame 110 by means of t wo outer bearings 132, 134 and at least one common intermediate bearing 133. To provide at least partial compensation for the segment frame 110 springin g up or bending, caused indirectly by the ferrostatic pressure in the interi or of the metal strip that has not yet solidified right through and occurrin g in particular in the region of the intermediate bearing 133 during the tra nsport of the metal strip between the guiding rollers 120, three different m eans are proposed according to the invention, means which can also be used i n combination with one another. These means are a bowing of the intermediate ly mounted guiding roller and/or a more yielding form of the outer bearings 132, 134 in comparison with the intermediate bearing 133 and/or a greater di stance A1 between the segment frame 110 and thecentre axis M of the part-rol lers 122, 124 in the case of the intermediate bearing 133 in comparison with the outer bearings 132, 134.
