The Bosch Rexroth LFA40WEA-7X/P20 (R900713683) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. Its construction allows for easy installation into standardized receiving holes according to ISO specifications, with the cover serving as the intermediary between the power section and pilot control valves. The design facilitates a variety of functions, such as pressure regulation, directional control, and flow throttling, either individually or in combination. The adaptability in sizing to different flow rates makes this valve particularly efficient for actuator pathways.
The LFA40WEA-7X/P20 is composed of a control cover that houses control bores and can include additional features like stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves tailored to the specific needs of the application. Furthermore, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be accommodated by the control cover. An installation kit accompanies the valve, which includes essential components like a bushing, ring (up to NG size), valve poppet (with options for damping nose), and closing spring.
This way cartridge valve operates based on pressure differences across three distinct areas: A1 (seat area), A2 (annulus area), and A3 (sum of A1 and A2). The valve features two possible area ratios between A1 and A2—either 0.7:1 or 0.5:1—resulting in varied annulus areas which influence the force dynamics within the valve mechanism. These area ratios dictate how the opening and closing forces interact to determine the spool position within the valve.
Designed to enable flow from A to B or vice versa without leakage when blocked, this versatile component ensures precise control over hydraulic systems. It is engineered for maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar and can handle substantial flow rates measured in liters per minute.
Overall, Bosch Rexroth's LFA40WEA-7X/P20 offers an efficient solution for hydraulic system designers seeking a reliable way cartridge valve that can be customized for multiple functions while maintaining cost-effectiveness and high performance standards.

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.

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 = 0.09 … 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 (see dimensions).Size 16 ... 63

Notices:
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.Mounting screws (included in scope of delivery)
