Segment of a strand guide of a continuous casting installation, - wherein the segment has an inner and an outer segment part (8, 9), between which a metal strand is guided during operation, - wherein the segment parts (8, 9) each have a plurality of rollers that sequentially follow one another in a strand conveying direction (x) and are supported on the respective segment part (8, 9), - wherein the rollers are each subdivided, as seen transversely in the strand conveying direction (x), into a plurality of barrels, between each of which there is a gap that has a gap width (bL), wherein, - as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), for each segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the rollers are offset by more than the respective gap width (bL) with respect to the gaps of the respectively immediately successive roller, - in the case of at least one of the rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the respective roller are arranged symmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), - in the case of the other rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the respective roller are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), - in each pair of immediately successive rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), in which the gaps of both rollers are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), the barrels of one roller correspond in reverse order to the barrels of the other roller, characterized - in that, as seen in the strand conveying direction (x), both in the case of the first and in the case of the last roller of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x). - wherein the segment has an inner and an outer segment part (8, 9), between which a metal strand is guided during operation, - wherein the segment parts (8, 9) each have a plurality of rollers that sequentially follow one another in a strand conveying direction (x) and are supported on the respective segment part (8, 9), - wherein the rollers are each subdivided, as seen transversely in the strand conveying direction (x), into a plurality of barrels, between each of which there is a gap that has a gap width (bL), - as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), for each segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the rollers are offset by more than the respective gap width (bL) with respect to the gaps of the respectively immediately successive roller, - in the case of at least one of the rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the respective roller are arranged symmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), - in the case of the other rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps of the respective roller are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), - in each pair of immediately successive rollers of the respective segment part (8, 9), in which the gaps of both rollers are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x), the barrels of one roller correspond in reverse order to the barrels of the other roller, characterized - in that, as seen in the strand conveying direction (x), both in the case of the first and in the case of the last roller of the respective segment part (8, 9), the gaps are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the segment centreline as seen transversely to the strand conveying direction (x).
