Abstract: An oscillating device for a continuous casting mold, wherein the continuous casting mold is guided on a support frame and is moved in an oscillating manner by servo hydraulic cylinders arranged on the support frame. Each servo hydraulic cylinder is fastened at the bottom thereof through an elastic fastening element on the support frame and the piston rods of the servo hydraulic cylinders are connected with the mold. The fastening element is composed of an elastic bending web which on both sides thereof is provided with fastening flanges.

Abstract: A vertical continuous casting mold has a pair of wide walls, and a pair of narrow walls which are received between the wide walls. The narrow walls are translatable back-and-forth, and also pivotable, in order to change the width of a strand cast in the mold. Each of the narrow walls is driven by an arrangement which permits the respective narrow wall to be remotely adjusted during casting. The arrangement for each narrow wall includes a pair of internally threaded sleeves which are respectively articulated to an upper and a lower portion of the corresponding wall. A rotatable spindle is threaded into each sleeve. The spindles are operative to cause axial displacement of the associated sleeves in response to rotation of the spindles. The two spindles for each narrow wall are rotated by a common motor. A first transmission transmits motion from the motor to one of the spindles, and a second transmission transmits motion from the motor to the other spindle.
