***Disclaimer: The following summary contains information gathered from various sources such as product descriptions, technical specifications and catalogs. While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Bosch Rexroth directly.***
The Bosch Rexroth LFA63E-7X/CA20DQMG24FX15 (R900952903) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This product is engineered to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions, or a combination thereof, through the use of respective pilot control valves. It showcases versatility in application by allowing for the adjustment of flow sizes to meet the specific requirements of different actuator paths, thereby offering a cost-effective solution for multi-functional use.
The modular design of the LFA63E-7X/CA20DQMG24FX15 consists of a control cover that houses control bores and may include stroke limitation features, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves tailored to the desired overall function. Additionally, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be accommodated on the control cover. The installation kit includes components such as a bushing, ring (only up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and a closing spring.
This way cartridge valve operates based on pressure with three distinct pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) contributing to its function. The area ratios between these sections determine the force direction that influences the spool position within the valve. Designed for high efficiency, it offers high flow rates with minimal pressure drops and impressive switching velocities while maintaining low leakage oil flows.
Constructed for durability and reliability, this Bosch Rexroth valve promises a long life cycle even under demanding conditions. Its compact size and lightweight nature do not compromise its robust performance. Serviceability is also made simple due to its user-friendly design. With maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar and capable of handling maximum flow rates in liters per minute (l/min), this valve stands as an excellent choice for various hydraulic applications requiring precise fluid control.

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.

Cartridge element (design as seat valve with damping noses)
Cartridge valves are hydraulically controlled seat or spool valves with two working ports A and B and one control port X or two control ports X and Z for the version with differential spool. Y is generally the leakage oil connection. The valves are available in sizes 16, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125 and 160.
Criteria for determination of the size include the flow to be controlled as well as flow resistance values of cartridge valves and their area ratios.
Control cover
By means of control cover (2), the bore of the cartridge elements is closed. They also serve as connection element between cartridge valve and pilot control valve.
Pilot control valve
At control covers for set-up of a directional spool valve (3) or seat valve (4), the porting pattern is realized according to ISO 4401 and DIN 24340.
The cartridge element (1) and the control cover (2) form a functional unit. It is calibrated at the factory and must not be disassembled or combined with other third-party components.
The closed spool position is monitored by the attached position switch (5).
Control cover "E" with electrical control of the closed position incl. installation kit: NG16 … 63
Dimensions in mm
Notice:
The dimensions are nominal dimensions which are subject to tolerances.
Notice:
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 = 0.14; adjust in case of modified surfaces.

Inductive position switches
Contactless position switches with integrated switching amplifiers are switched shortly before reaching the spool position to be monitored. The spool position reached is displayed by a binary signal.
Advantages of the position switches:
Short-circuit-proof Direct monitoring of the spool position at the control spool. Long life cycle High reliability due to no use of dynamic seals Reaction time of the switch upon operation approx. 15 ms.Notice:
Valves with inductive position switches and proximity sensors in safety-relevant controls may only be assembled and commissioned by hydraulically and electrically trained specialists. Service work requires special tools and equipment. This work may only be performed by authorized specialists or in the factory!
Improper work at safety equipment leads to a risk of personal injury and damage to property!
The valve components are coordinated in the production plant and adjusted during assembly. They must not be interchanged. In case of valve or position switch defects, the complete valve must be exchanged! The factory setting of the position switch must not be changed. The position switch may only be set by Bosch Rexroth. The position switch must be automatically monitored by the machine control to prevent initiation of a new machine cycle even in case of a defect at the position switch.Orifice selection
