Abstract: A rolling contact bearing arrangement for two axially adjacent rollers, e.g. for use in a continuous casting plant. The rollers are each mounted via two rolling contact bearings, wherein the two central adjacent rolling contact bearings are arranged within the hollows at the inner ends of the rollers. The rotating bearing outer ring bearing the roller and the stationary bearing inner ring being supported by a common axle journal for both bearings, which is held in a supporting block. This arrangement enables the distance between two axially adjacent rollers to be minimized and the cast material or slab may sag less at this point.
