The invention relates to a rotary lead-through for the coolant inflow and
outflow of a back-up and/or conveyor roller (1) which is held in a
bearing arrangement at the end at least by means of bearing journals (10)
located in bearing blocks (11), in particular in a continuous casting
plant. To compensate for the axial movement and oscillating movement of
the back-up and/or conveyor roller during operation, the bearing (9) at
one end, to which the coolant inflow line and the coolant outflow line is
connected, is a fixed axial bearing which is nevertheless able to absorb
oscillating movement, while the other bearing is a detached axial
bearing. In this way it is possible to provide on the fixed axial bearing
a rotary lead-through, without a compensator, between the bearing journal
(10) and a covering plate (12), wherein a fixed sleeve (16), sealed in
the bearing journal (10), is sealed at the covering plate (12) by means
of a rotary shaft sealing ring (18) which makes it possible for relative
rotary movement and oscillating movement to occur.
