The Bosch Rexroth LFA40H4-7X/FX12 (R900768843) is a high-performance way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This model stands out with its standardized receiving hole for installation, aligning with ISO standards, and typically utilizes a cover that doubles as the connection point for pilot control valves. The LFA40H4-7X/FX12 excels in versatility, offering capabilities for pressure, directional, and throttle functions or their combinations, optimizing flow control for various actuator paths.
The way cartridge valve's construction includes a control cover that houses the essential control bores and may feature additional elements such as stroke limitation, a hydraulically controlled directional seat valve, or a shuttle valve depending on the required function. The possibility of integrating electrically operated spool or seat valves further enhances its adaptability. The installation kit comprises several components: a bushing, ring (for sizes up to NG), valve poppet (with optional damping nose), and a closing spring.
This model operates based on pressure differences across three critical areas: A1, A2, and A3. These areas are engineered to produce specific area ratios that influence the valve's functionality in response to pressure changes. The forces acting on areas A1 and A2 contribute to opening the valve while area A3 alongside the spring assists in closing it. The net force determines the spool position within the way cartridge valve.
Designed to handle maximum operating pressures of up to bar and support flow rates of l/min, this Bosch Rexroth model ensures reliable performance with minimal leakage risks. It can facilitate fluid movement from port A to B or vice versa while maintaining precise control through pilot oil discharge or external supply mechanisms. Additionally equipped with remote control port options and stroke limitation features, this standard series component represents an efficient solution for hydraulic system optimization across various applications.

With remote control port With stroke limitation
2-way cartridge valves are elements that have been designed for a compact block design. The power section with connections A and B is installed into the control block in a receiving hole standardized according to ISO 7368 and closed with a cover. In most cases, the cover is also the connection from the control side of the power section to the pilot control valves.
By control with respective pilot control valves, the power section can be applied for pressure, directional and throttle functions or a combination of these functions. Particularly efficient solutions are realized by adjustment of the size to various flows of the individual ways of an actuator. The application of power sections of elements for multiple functions is very cost-effective.
2-way cartridge valves generally consist of control cover (1) and installation kit (2). The control cover contains the control bores and optionally a stroke limitation function, a hydraulically controlled directional seat valve or a shuttle valve according to the required overall function. Additionally, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be installed at a control cover. The installation kit consists of a bushing (3), ring (4) (only up to NG32), valve poppet (5), optionally with damping nose (6) or without damping nose (7) as well as closing spring (8).
The function of 2-way cartridge valves is pressure-dependent. This way, three crucial pressurized areas are realized for the function. A1, A2, A3. The area at valve seat A1 is observed as 100 %. Depending on the version, the annulus area A2 realized by grading is 7 % or 50 % of area A1. The area ratio A1 : A2 is respectively either 14.3 : 1 or 2 : 1. The area A3 is identical to the sum of areas A1 + A2. Due to the different area ratios A1 : A2 and the resulting different annulus areas (A2), the area A3 is one time 107 % and another time 150 % of the area A1 at the seat, which is observed as 100 %.
In general, the following applies:
The areas A1 and A2 are effective in opening direction. The area A3 and the spring are effective in closing direction. The direction of action of the resulting force from the opening and closing forces determines the spool position of the 2-way cartridge valve.
The 2-way cartridge valves can be passed from A to B or from B to A. Pressurization of area A3 by pilot oil discharge from channel B or external pilot oil supply, channel A is blocked without leakage.

Notices:
The specified tightening torques stated are guidelines when using screws with the specified friction coefficients and when using a manual torque wrench (tolerance ± 10%). The specified tightening torques were calculated with total friction coefficient μtotal = 0.09 ... 0.14; adjust in case of modified surfaces. Supplied mounting screws are only suitable for direct assembly on a block. If an intermediate cover is used, mounting screws have to be designed accordingly longer.Connection dimensions according to ISO 7368
