The functionality and efficiency of a wind-energy plant depends on the interaction of the components used. This is why the gear mechanism, the pitch-controls and the brakes must be protected from malfunction. In order to ensure this protection, high-quality pressure and temperature switches, as well as level probes and sensors are used to monitor the grease and oil conditions.
Wide operating temperatures from -40°C to + 50°C require the ability to choose appropriate gasket material. In addition Barksdale switches are constructed to operate installations and environments where shock and vibration are present as demonstrated by the marine approvals e.g GL, BV etc. they currently have.
The Barksdale portfolio covers not only mechanical but also electronic pressure switches.
Barksdale produces its products in Germany and the US but is also close to all international customers with its sales and distribution channels in China and India. Approvals like UL, GOST and ATEX express the extraordinary customer orientation and understanding of quality.
High reliability and long life are typical for these products. Short communication paths in flat hierarchies allow to find promptly customised solutions also for small and medium series production requirements.
Through our affiliation with the worldwide operating Crane Company, highest production standards are guaranteed from which our customers profit by, on time delivery, reliability and quality. The continuous improvement of our production processes and our know-how is driven by proven internal development measurements (like Lean Production, 5-S and Kaizen).
