The Bosch Rexroth LFA40GWA-7X/A15 (R900938117) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve engineered for integration into a compact block design. It is specifically crafted to fit standardized receiving holes according to ISO specifications and is sealed with a cover that also serves as the connector to pilot control valves. This model enables the execution of various hydraulic functions, including pressure, directional, and throttle controls, or a combination thereof. By adjusting the size to match different flow rates for individual actuator paths, it offers particularly efficient solutions and cost-effectiveness when used for multiple functions.
The LFA40GWA-7X/A15 consists of a control cover that includes control bores and can optionally host features like stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves based on the required functionality. Moreover, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be accommodated on this control cover. The installation kit comprises components such as a bushing, ring (up to NG size), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and closing spring.
This model operates based on pressure-dependence with three key pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) contributing to its function. These areas facilitate different annulus areas A2 due to varying area ratios of A1:A2 – either 0.7:1 or 0.85:1 – influencing the valve's performance characteristics such as flow rates and cracking pressures.
For operation, areas A1 and A2 are active in the opening direction while area A3 alongside the spring works in the closing direction. The resultant force from these opposing forces dictates the spool position within the valve. The LFA40GWA-7X/A15 allows fluid transition from ports A to B or vice versa with pressurization of area A3 through pilot oil discharge from channel B or an external pilot oil supply blocking channel A without leakage.
Key specifications include standard series size component series X and X with maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar and maximum flow rates expressed in liters per minute (l/min). The versatility of this valve makes it suitable for applications requiring precise hydraulic control within compact systems.

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 A1, A2, A3 are realized for the function. 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.

The 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 μ = 0.09 … 0.14; adjust in case of modified surfaces.
