Barksdale GmbH

Barksdale GmbH develops and manufactures instrumentation for measuring and controlling the variables that keep industrial processes running: pressure, flow, level, temperature, and speed. Its catalog includes mechanical and electronic switches, transducers, indicators, and control accessories. The company targets industrial, energy, medical, and hydrogen applications, where selecting the range, process medium, and operating conditions is part of specifying the right instrument.

The pressure line ranges from compact and electronic switches to high-pressure and hydrogen transducers. The website lists ranges up to 34 bar and products rated up to 950 bar, along with explosion-proof variants and solutions for vehicles. Selection involves more than the maximum value: connection type, material, temperature, electrical response, and installation environment must fit the system being monitored or protected.

The flow product family measures and monitors water, air, gas, and oil, with options identified for ATEX or intrinsically safe environments. For level measurement, Barksdale offers single and multiple level switches, tank transmitters, bypass indicators, and probes for different ways of monitoring tanks and circuits. Its temperature line includes mechanical and electronic switches, transducers, and thermostats, while speed products include magnetic pickups, switches, transmitters, and tachometers.

Application engineering is part of the offering: the Design With Us section invites customers to work with specialists on controls tailored to specific requirements. The site’s support tools include technical documents, product references, approvals, and a distributor locator. Online quote requests require an article or product number; separate teams handle pricing, lead times, orders, technical support, and returns.

Published technical examples help show how these components are used. Barksdale’s library features a pressure switch for vehicle transmissions and a case study on hydrogen monitoring in fuel-cell trains. These are not consumer products or interchangeable solutions; they illustrate how sensors and controls are integrated into equipment where a dependable reading helps monitor operating conditions.

Barksdale GmbH’s production center is in Reichelsheim, Hesse. The official site also lists Barksdale Inc. as a production center in Los Angeles, Barksdale China as a sales center in Shanghai, and Barksdale India as a sales center in Pune. The site identifies Crane Barksdale as a subsidiary of Crane Company. Together, these locations reflect the brand’s international structure, and Reichelsheim is Barksdale GmbH’s German point of contact.

The company serves manufacturers, system integrators, and maintenance teams that need measurement components specified for an installation, rather than shoppers looking for a general retail store. A useful inquiry should describe the medium, pressure or temperature range, environment, connections, and intended use; a part number helps locate an existing product. Customers in Germany can also access an online store, while other markets can find a distributor or contact the technical team directly.
