The Bosch Rexroth LFA25WEA-7X/P10 (R900912684) is a high-performance way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This valve is engineered to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions or a combination thereof through the control of respective pilot control valves. It offers particularly efficient solutions by allowing the adjustment of flow sizes to match the individual ways of an actuator, making it a cost-effective choice for various applications.
The LFA25WEA-7X/P10 consists of a control cover and an installation kit, which includes essential components such as a bushing, ring (applicable up to NG size), valve poppet with options for damping nose configurations, and a closing spring. The control cover houses the control bores and may feature additional elements like stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves tailored to the specific function required.
This model operates based on pressure-dependent functionality with three critical pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) contributing to its operation. The area at the valve seat (A1) serves as a reference point. Depending on the version of the valve, different area ratios are achieved between A2 and A1—either 0.7:1 or 0.3:1—resulting in varying annulus areas A2 that impact the overall function.
The way cartridge valve's spool position is determined by the direction of force resulting from opening forces (areas A1 and A2) against closing forces (area A3 combined with spring action). It allows for fluid flow from port A to B or vice versa while ensuring that pressurization of area A3 can block channel A without leakage when pilot oil is discharged from channel B or supplied externally.
For technical specifications, this standard series Size Component comes in series X0 to X9 and can withstand maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar with corresponding maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute. Users can customize their setup by selecting from different springs and cracking pressures to meet specific operational requirements.
Ordering information for this Bosch Rexroth way cartridge valve should reference its material number R900912684 to ensure accurate procurement of this particular model code LFA25WEA-7X/P10.

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)
