The invention is concerned with support rolls for continuous casting machines and such continuous casting machines. In a continuous casting machine the strands being cast are each supported by individual pinch rolls. The invention provides a pinch roll assembly capable of supporting more than one strand simultaneously, the pinch roll being mounted on a drive shaft by means of a spherical bearing so that the roll can articulate on the shaft. A compression spring arrangement is provided so that articulation can occur only when a lateral force greater than a predetermined value is applied to the roller. The invention also provides continuous casting apparatus incorporating such pinch rolls.
