The Bosch Rexroth LC25A20E7X/-004 (R900927212) is a state-of-the-art way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This particular model code is engineered to fit standardized receiving holes according to ISO specifications and is capped with a control cover that connects the power section to pilot control valves. The LC25A20E7X/-004 valve offers versatile functionality, enabling it to be used for pressure, directional, and throttle applications or a combination thereof. This adaptability makes it an efficient solution for controlling various flow rates in different actuator pathways. The modular design includes a control cover that houses the necessary control bores and can feature additional components such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves based on the overall functional requirements. For electrical operation, directional spool or seat valves can also be installed on the control cover. The installation kit accompanying this model comes with essential parts like the bushing, valve poppet (with options for damping nose configurations), and closing spring. Functionality of the LC25A20E7X/-004 is pressure-dependent with three distinct pressurized areas labeled A1, A2, and A3 that contribute to its operational capabilities. The differences in area ratios (either 0.7:1 or 2:1) between A1 and A2 result in varying annulus areas and consequently different cracking pressures when initiating valve action. This way cartridge valve ensures reliable operation with maximum operating pressures up to several hundred bar and maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute (l/min). It has been optimized for bidirectional flow between ports A and B, achieving non-leakage blocking when pilot oil discharges from channel B or when there's an external pilot oil supply. The LC25A20E7X/-004 model's design allows for precise control over hydraulic systems while maintaining robust performance standards across various applications.

Valve poppet with or without damping nose 2 area ratios 6 different cracking pressures

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.

Notice:

Spools with damping nose are mainly used in applications with stroke limitation and spool position monitoring. Due to the better flow values, we recommend the spool without damping nose by default.

Notice:

The specified characteristic curves were simulated with 100% spool stroke and an aligned socket (see sketch under recommended socket alignment). The simulation results were validated by measurement results. The basis was an installation geometry with ØD3* (see installation under dimensions) and a simulation model according to ISO 4411/2008-10-01.

1)	Maximum dimension
2)	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.
