A transport system for flat metallic materials such as thin, hot-rolled metallic strips in a strip mill includes a roll table and one or more linear drive elements which are positioned between a pair of rollers of the roll table and below the table plane formed thereby to exert a travelling force field on the leading end of the flat metallic material passing thereover which will have a force component directed perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the flat metallic material and thus act to adjust (i.e. center) the positioning of the moving metallic material on the roll table. The linear drive elements may include heat shields and cooling fluid discharge openings. |
