Technical details and manufacturing context for Oscillation Actuator

Definition
The oscillation actuator is a critical component of the continuous casting mold oscillation table system, responsible for producing the precise, controlled back-and-forth motion of the mold. This motion is essential for preventing the solidifying steel shell from sticking to the mold walls, ensuring smooth billet/slab withdrawal, improving surface quality, and facilitating lubrication.
Working Principle
The actuator converts input energy (typically hydraulic pressure or electric motor torque) into a controlled linear or rotary oscillatory motion. This motion is transmitted to the mold table via linkages or a direct drive mechanism. The stroke length, frequency, and waveform (e.g., sinusoidal, non-sinusoidal) are precisely controlled according to casting parameters.
Common Materials
Alloy Steel, High-Strength Cast Iron
Technical Parameters
