Barksdale Height Control Valves

Barksdale levels the playing field when it comes to air suspension products. Responding to a need for increased reliability and performance of air ride suspensions in the transportation industry, Barksdale developed an air suspension valve featuring our own Shear-Seal® technology - designed to provide optimum performance in maintaining consistent vehicle ride height, repeatability and air consumption control while performing billions of cycles in harsh environments. Whether you're designing a new system or looking for a direct replacement, Barksdale has the answer.

Product Highlights

Shear-Seal® Technology

The Shear-Seal® technology is based on the sliding of two precisely machined metal sealing surfaces across each other, creating a zero-leak leak seal. Media passes through the center of the seals, rather than across the seal surface, preventing contamination from entering the seal areas. As the valve shifts, the wiping action of the polished metal seals pushes away debris.

Bringing zero-leakage, long life Shear-Seal® technology to commercial vehicle ride control applications changed the industry and made Barksdale Controls the leader in suspension control technology.
