Anker-Holth is one of the oldest and most reputable suppliers of heavy-duty cylinders, supplying steel mills on all five continents since the late 1800’s. Steel production is one of the most difficult applications for cylinders, involving high temperatures, intense forces and extreme conditions.  Anker-Holth’s reputation was made on the ability to exceed the harsh demands placed on cylinders in these applications.

Anker-Holth cylinders can perform under extreme conditions and meet high reliability and safety requirements. Our seal and bearing materials are designed to withstand these rugged requirements to provide many years of exceptional service. 

High-pressure cylinders have been used extensively in these heavy-duty applications.  Our cylinders are renowned for exceptionally long service life due to a winning combination of high- pressure performance, superior design and attention to detail.

Steel strip mills control the thickness of strip at high speeds through the use of Cylinders for Automatic Gage Control (AGC).  These cylinders cycle at ultra-high speeds and perform over a very long cycle life. Anker-Holth has been building Gauge Control cylinders for over 75 years. Our design and manufacturing experience is the key to the longevity and reliability of our products.
