Barksdale’s High Pressure 4140 Series 4-way valves and 2190

Series shut off valves provide superior control for fluids and

gasses up to 15,000 psi (1,035 bar) in the toughest industrial

applications. Using Barksdale’s Shear-Seal® technology, these high

pressure valve products offer dependable performance and long life even

when the media being controlled is contaminated with debris that would ruin ordinary

valves. Featuring rugged ball bearing construction, hardened stainless steel seals and

durable machined stainless steel bodies and housings, these valves provide trouble-free

performance for your critical application in the harshest environments.

With Barksdale, Pressure is Under Control
Barksdale is a recognized leader in the design
and manufacture of superior directional control
valves for numerous hydraulic and pneumatic
industrial systems. At the core of Barksdale’s
exceptional valve performance is its ShearSeal®
technology which provides zero leakage* and long
life in tough applications where other valves fall
short.

Our Valves Don't Wear Out…They Wear In

What makes Shear-Seal® so special? This unique
design controls the media through internal galleries
in the sealing components rather than across the
critical sealing faces. This means that contami-
nates that are common in many industrial systems
have little opportunity to damage the valve. The
continual sliding motion between the Shear-Seal®
faces and the rotor along with the combination of Designed For Tough Duty
spring and pressure loading allows for automatic The High Pressure Valves are constructed of a
adjustment of the seals as they wear in. Also the machined stainless steel body which can with-
lapping action between the valve sealing elements stand the abuses of harsh industrial applications
