The Bosch Rexroth LC16A40D7X/-004 (R900923136) is a high-performance way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This particular valve is engineered to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions, or a combination thereof, through the use of corresponding pilot control valves. Its adaptability allows for efficient customization to match the flow requirements of different actuators, offering cost-effective solutions for multi-functional applications.
The LC16A40D7X/-004 consists of a control cover that houses control bores and potentially includes additional features such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valve, or shuttle valve depending on the desired function. Electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can also be accommodated within the control cover. The installation kit comprises components such as a bushing, ring (up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and a closing spring.
This way cartridge valve operates on pressure-dependent functionality, establishing three critical pressurized areas labeled A1, A2, and A3. The areas A1 and A2 assist in the opening direction while area A3 along with the spring aids in the closing direction. The balance of opening and closing forces determines the spool position within the valve. Moreover, this product allows for fluid transition from port A to B or vice versa while ensuring that pressurization of area A3 effectively blocks channel A without any leakage.
The LC16A40D7X/-004 is part of Bosch Rexroth's standard series and comes in various component series – X1, X2, X3 – each tailored to specific operational needs. It can withstand a maximum operating pressure up to bar levels and supports maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute. Valve poppets are available with different damping noses to achieve varying cracking pressures according to application requirements.

Valve poppet with or without damping nose 2 area ratios 6 different cracking pressures
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.

2) | Due to the use of a bore with ØD3*, port B protrudes over the upper limit of the area intended in ISO 7368. This is, however, possible due to the sealing concept and reduces the pressure loss during flow through the valve. Thus, we recommend a bore with ØD3*. |
