The invention relates to an oscillating table for continuous casting, intended for manufacturing longitudinal elements which enables greater precision in the guiding of the mobile structure, reduces maintenance and provides the mobile structure with stability in the oscillation movement thereof. The table comprises a supporting structure (1), a mobile structure (3) defining a first direction (X), at least one actuating element (6) transmitting alternating oscillations in the first direction (X), two pairs of torsion axles (7, 8, 9, 10) which extend in planes transverse to the first direction (X) wherein at least the ends thereof work in torsion and at least four longitudinal joining elements (11, 12), wherein each joining element (11, 12) is joined to at least one end of the pair of axles (9, 10), wherein the joining elements guide the mobile structure (3) in the movement thereof.

Provided is vertical semi-continuous casting equipment including a guide device disposed under the mold to support the slab drawn from the plate, the guide device being configured to guide the descending of the slab. The guide device includes first and second guide parts including a plurality of guide rolls respectively disposed on both sides of a moving path of the plate under the mold to support the slab moving by the plate and guide the movement of the slab and a braking unit connected to each of the guide rolls to apply braking force to the guide roll that rotates by the movement of the slab. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the slab having the length longer than that of the slab in accordance with the related art may stably descend, the shaking of the slab may be prevented, and the casting speed may be stabilized.

A mold oscillator includes a ball screw unit that has a ball screw 32 having a threaded shaft 29 and a ball nut 30, and has a nut-side shaft 31 fixed to the ball nut 30 coaxially with the threaded shaft 29, wherein the ball screw unit is positioned so that the central axis of the ball screw unit extends in the vertical direction. A casing surrounds at least part of the ball screw 32. The ball nut 30 of the ball screw 32 and part of the threaded shaft 29 of the ball screw 32, on which, part the ball nut 30 is engaged with the threaded shaft 29, are submerged in a lubricating oil so as to be able to lubricate the ball screw 32 with an oil bath.

A die (for a continuous casting installation) that includes a movably mounted frame having a first subframe and a second subframe; a first broad-side insert which is positioned on the first subframe; and a second broad-side insert which is positioned on the second subframe. Narrow sides each having a narrow-side copper plate and abuting the two broad-side inserts are positioned between the two broad-side inserts. The die also has: a clamping device which is designed to exert, on the subframes, a clamping force that acts between the subframes; and an oscillation drive which is designed to make the frame oscillate in and counter to a horizontal width direction (H) relative to the narrow sides. A spring band assembly which guides the subframes is positioned on each subframe on sides which are opposite one another in the width direction (H).
