Barksdale & Stellar Technology Comparative Transducer Crossover
When reliability, lead time, and long-term support matter, choosing the right pressure transducer partner is critical. For customers currently specifying or maintaining Stellar Technology pressure transducers, Barksdale transducers offer a proven, readily available replacement solution without sacrificing performance or durability.
When Performance Can’t Pause, Availability Matters
In today’s environment, extended lead times and product lifecycle changes can disrupt even the most carefully designed systems. Organizations relying on Stellar Technology transducers are increasingly seeking high-quality replacement options that are easy to source and supported for the long haul.
Why Barksdale Is a Strong Replacement Choice
Form, Fit, and Function Replacements: Barksdale's engineering team can help customize a BoT or BiT Transducer to ensure a seamless "form, fit, and function" replacement, avoiding costly re-engineering for your existing systems.
Rugged Construction: Our transducers feature heavy-duty, all-welded stainless steel construction (316 and 17-4 SS) for superior corrosion resistance and durability, similar to the high-reliability designs Stellar Technology was known for.
Superior Performance: Barksdale models offer advanced features like excellent thermal compensation, high over-pressure protection, and robust EMI/EMC immunity, ensuring reliable performance in wide operating temperature ranges and harsh conditions.
Customization and Availability: With a modular design platform, we offer a vast range of configurable options for pressure ranges, electrical connections, and process fittings. Many standard configurations are available with short lead times, with some shipping in 10 days or less.
