Dave,

I am not sure where the term came from, but in the Petro-Chemical
and Power Industries, a "cinch anchor" is often used to describe
a concrete, expansion type anchor.  A "cinch anchor" would be a
Hilti "Kwik-Bolt II," Red Head, or equiv., type of anchor.
Sometimes a "cinch anchor" also may be used to describe an epoxy
anchor.

The "cinch anchor" can be located and installed after the piece
of equipment is positioned.  Not having to locate an anchor bolt
beforehand makes it easier to provide the anchors, or a "cinch."
However, I do not know if this is how the term was arrived.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hello all,

I think someone may have posted a question on this before, but I
don't
remember.  Can anyone clarify what a "cinch anchor" is?  Is there
perhaps a website with additional information?

Thanks in advance,
