The Bosch Rexroth LFA32H2-7X/FX25/12 (R978900415) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. These valves are engineered to fit standardized receiving holes according to ISO norms and are capped with a cover that facilitates connection to pilot control valves. The versatility of the LFA32H2-7X/FX25/12 lies in its ability to perform pressure, directional, and throttle functions, or a combination thereof. This adaptability makes it an efficient solution for managing various flow requirements across different actuator paths.
The design of the LFA32H2-7X/FX25/12 includes a control cover which houses control bores and may include additional features such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves based on the overall functional needs. Electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can also be accommodated within the control cover. The installation kit comprises essential components such as a bushing, ring (up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and a closing spring.
The functionality of this valve is pressure-dependent, establishing three critical pressurized areas: A1, A2, and A3. These areas interact in different ratios (either 0.7:1 or 1:1) to determine the spool position by balancing opening forces against closing forces exerted by the spring.
Bosch Rexroth's LFA32H2-7X/FX25/12 is capable of directing flow from A to B or vice versa while ensuring leak-free blocking when area A3 is pressurized either through pilot oil discharge from channel B or an external pilot oil supply. It features remote control port options and stroke limitation for precise operation control.
This model belongs to the standard series with sizes available in various component series (X). It can withstand maximum operating pressures up to bar levels and accommodate maximum flows measured in liters per minute. The versatility and robust design make it suitable for high-performance hydraulic applications requiring precise flow management and control.

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.

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
