The Bosch Rexroth LC32A20E7X/-004 (R900927149) is a high-quality way cartridge valve designed to integrate seamlessly into a compact block design for hydraulic systems. This model is engineered to perform various functions, including pressure, directional, and throttle control, by being paired with appropriate pilot control valves. The LC32A20E7X/-004 features a modular structure that consists of a control cover and an installation kit. The control cover houses the control bores and may include additional functions like stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves based on the overarching system requirements. It can also accommodate electrically operated directional spool or seat valves if necessary. The installation kit for this valve comprises a bushing, retaining ring (applicable only up to certain sizes), valve poppet (available with or without a damping nose), and a closing spring. The functionality of this way cartridge valve is pressure-dependent, creating three distinct pressurized areas—A1, A2, and A3—that are crucial for its operation. The area ratios between these zones determine the spool position through the balance of opening and closing forces acting on the valve. Bosch Rexroth's LC32A20E7X/-004 is designed to allow flow from A to B or vice versa while ensuring that pressurization of area A3 blocks channel A without any leakage when pilot oil is discharged from channel B or supplied externally. This model comes in standard series sizes with component series X2, X3, and X6 options available. It can withstand maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar and allows for maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute. With different cracking pressures achievable through varying area ratios and the choice of valve poppet designs—with or without damping nose—this way cartridge valve offers versatility and performance for sophisticated hydraulic applications.

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.

Notice:

Spools with damping nose are mainly used in applications with stroke limitation and spool position monitoring. Due to the better flow values, we recommend the spool without damping nose by default.

Notice:

The specified characteristic curves were simulated with 100% spool stroke and an aligned socket (see sketch under recommended socket alignment). The simulation results were validated by measurement results. The basis was an installation geometry with ØD3* (see installation under dimensions) and a simulation model according to ISO 4411/2008-10-01.

1)	Maximum dimension
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.
