Abstract: An oil film bearing (1) for roll pins (4), which or whose pin bush (3) that is placed thereon is surrounded by a bearing bush (3) placed in an insert (2). The bearing bush has at least two inner lying hydrostatic pockets (9, 9?), which are arranged, in essence, in a common axial line and which can be supplied with a pressure medium via a check valve (18) and via boreholes (6, 6?) extending inside the bearing bush (5). Throttles (15, 15?) inside the boreholes (6, 6?) ensure an optimal hydrostatic bearing even when the roll pin (4) or the pin bush (3) is in an oblique position inside the bearing bush (5). The aim of the invention is to improve an oil film bearing of the aforementioned type whereby economically assuring the hydrostatic function of the bearing and in which the inspection of the throttles (15, 15?) is possible without further ado.

Abstract: A method for semi-endless or endless rolling by casting a metal strand, especially a steel strand, which is cut to length as required after solidification, wherein the cut lengths of cast strand are fed into a roller hearth furnace for heating and homogenizing at rolling temperature and are then fed at rolling temperature into a rolling mill to be rolled out. The continuous casting is continued without interruption during the rolling operation, and a sufficient buffer time for a roll change is maintained in the rolling mill. For carrying out a roll change, the casting rate is reduced as a function of the feed rate of the rolling mill and/or the roll-changing time, and/or the buffer length of the roller hearth furnace, and/or the final rolled thickness after the strand has been cut to length.
