Viceroy has earned a leadership position in the steel industry through decades of expertise, innovation, and determination. Together with Anker-Holth, its sister company that specializes in heavy-duty mill-type cylinders, Viceroy has been serving steel mills across all five continents since the late 1800s. Steel production, with its high temperatures, intense forces, and extreme conditions, represents one of the most challenging applications for cylinders. Viceroy’s reputation has been built on consistently exceeding these demanding requirements.

Our cylinders are engineered to perform reliably under extreme conditions, meeting the highest standards of safety and durability. Our seal and bearing materials are specifically designed to withstand these harsh environments, ensuring years of exceptional service.

Viceroy’s cylinders are renowned for their long service life, thanks to a winning combination of high-pressure performance, superior design, and meticulous attention to detail.

In steel strip mills, cylinders for Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) regulate the thickness of strips at high speeds. These cylinders operate at ultra-high speeds and maintain a very long cycle life. With over 75 years of experience in building Gauge Control cylinders, Viceroy’s expertise in design and manufacturing is the key to the longevity and reliability of our products.
