Abstract: In a lifting-table-guide arrangement having two oppositely arranged vertical guide elements provided on each of two opposing sides of a mould lifting-table of a continuous casting plant, one of the two oppositely arranged vertical guide elements provided on each of two opposing sides is supported by two rollers mounted one above the other in a lifting-table-guide stand and the other one of the two oppositely arranged vertical guide elements provided on each of two opposing sides is supported by a single counter bearing. The counter bearing is designed as a bearing for a rocker having two rollers arranged at a distance from each other, which rollers support the other one of the two oppositely arranged vertical guide elements.

Abstract: Continuous casting plant rollers or rolls of small diameter are provided great longitudinal extension, which longitudinal extension exceeds the width of the continuously cast strand. The rollers or rolls have annular recesses distributed over their longitudinal extension, thus forming substantially cylindrical bearing pins to be received in bearings, preferably slide bearings, whose bearing height, measured from the bearing center toward the strand skin, is smaller than the radius of the rollers or rolls. The rollers or rolls may advantageously be composed of a plurality of individual roller or roll bodies held together by at least one bracing anchor. Preferably, the rollers or rolls are provided with internal cooling.
