Pressure Switches

Pressure switches from Barksdale are manufactured exclusively in the USA to support industrial, marine, food & beverage, fire, pharmaceutical, OIL & Gas and many more markets and applications. Pressure switch designs that including large diaphragm type pressure switches for very low to medium pressures; Dia-seal type pressure switches for low to high pressures; sealed piston and bourdon type pressure switches for medium to very high pressures.

In 1980, Barksdale Inc., a subsidiary of Crane Co., introduced the first solid-state pressure switch.and has continued to develop the technology with the latest range of electronic switches, the BPS3000. This latest range offers even greater flexibility and reliability that users expect from Barksdale's extensive experience manufacturing and applying mechanical and electronics pressure switches.

Measurement Solutions stocks a wide range of pressure switches in our Australian warehouse. For more information or advice about our pressure switch, please call or email and one of our friendly and experieced engineers will help you out.
