The Bosch Rexroth LFA 50 DBW2-7X/400/12 (R978912001) is a sophisticated cartridge valve designed for precise pressure control in hydraulic systems. This model, part of the component series X, X, can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 400 bar. It is engineered to perform both pressure relief and pressure reducing functions, depending on the configuration. For the pressure relief function, this valve operates as a seat valve with no effective area at port B, ensuring that the spool is balanced and held closed by spring force until the set pressure is reached. Once this occurs, the spool opens to limit pressure at port A according to its characteristic curve. In contrast, for the pressure reducing function, it functions as a spool valve with an open rest position and similarly lacks an effective area at port B. The design allows free flow from port B to port A until the set pressure is attained, at which point the spool closes to reduce and maintain desired pressure levels. This model incorporates manual or electrically proportional pilot control valves for adjusting pressures. These pilot valves are either integrated into or mounted on top of the control cover, following DIN standards for mounting dimensions. The versatility of this product is further enhanced by its compatibility with various control covers that enable different pressure functions. The LFA 50 DBW2-7X/400/12 valve also includes options for manual adjustment and can be paired with directional valves in positions 'a' or 'b', facilitating integration into various hydraulic circuits whether they require open or blocked configurations. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in demanding applications where precise hydraulic control is essential.

General

2-way cartridge valves for pressure functions are pilot-operated valves in seat or spool design. The power section designed as cartridge valve (1) is installed into a receiving hole standardized according to DIN ISO 7368 and closed with a control cover (2).

The pilot control valve (4) for manual or electrically proportional pressure adjustment is integrated into the control cover (2) or is installed on the control cover (2) as pilot valve with mounting dimensions according to DIN 24 340.

By combination of cartridge valves with the control covers, different pressure functions can be realized. .

Pressure relief function

The cartridge valve (1) for the pressure relief function (type LC . DB...) is designed as seat valve without area difference (no effective area at port B). The effective pressure at port A is directed via the pilot oil supply orifice (5) to the spring side (6) of the element. Under the pressure set at the pilot control valve (4), the spool (3) is pressure-compensated and closed by the spring force.

On reaching the set pressure, the spool (3) is opened and the pressure at port A is limited according to the pressure-flow characteristics.

Pressure reducing function

Rest position open

The cartridge valve for the pressure reducing function is designed as spool valve without area difference (no effective areas at port B).

As pilot control valve, identical cover types as for the pressure relief function are applied (type LFA..DB...).

The effective pressure at port A is directed via the pilot oil supply orifice to the spring side of the spool. Under the performance limit and the pressure set at the pilot control valve, the spool is pressure-compensated and retained in open position by the spring force to enable free flow from port B to port A.

On reaching the set pressure, the spool is closed and the pressure at port A is reduced according to the pressure-flow characteristics.

1)	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.
