The Bosch Rexroth LFA32EWA-7X/CA20DQMG24A08 (R900956894) is a state-of-the-art way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This valve is engineered to facilitate a range of hydraulic functions including pressure, directional, and throttle control, or combinations thereof. Its modular design allows for various configurations, enabling it to be tailored to specific application requirements for optimal performance.
The LFA32EWA-7X/CA20DQMG24A08 features a robust control cover that houses control bores and may include additional functionalities such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves as dictated by the overall function needed. For electric operation, directional spool or seat valves can be incorporated into the control cover. The installation kit comprises essential components such as bushing, ring (applicable up to certain sizes), valve poppet—with options for damping nose configurations—and a closing spring.
The functionality of this way cartridge valve is pressure-dependent with three primary pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) contributing to its operation. The area ratios between these zones determine the spool position by balancing opening and closing forces. Users can expect high flow rates with minimal pressure drops and swift switching velocities due to its power and flow-optimized design. Furthermore, the LFA32EWA-7X/CA20DQMG24A08 boasts low leakage oil flows.
Durability is a key feature of this Bosch Rexroth valve; it promises high reliability and an extended lifecycle even in demanding conditions. Additional advantages include a compact installation footprint and low weight which contribute to ease of serviceability.
This way cartridge valve accommodates maximum operating pressures up to bar and maximum flow rates of l/min, making it suitable for an array of hydraulic applications where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

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.

Cartridge element (design as seat valve with damping noses)
Cartridge valves are hydraulically controlled seat or spool valves with two working ports A and B and one control port X or two control ports X and Z for the version with differential spool. Y is generally the leakage oil connection. The valves are available in sizes 16, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125 and 160.
Criteria for determination of the size include the flow to be controlled as well as flow resistance values of cartridge valves and their area ratios.
Control cover
By means of control cover (2), the bore of the cartridge elements is closed. They also serve as connection element between cartridge valve and pilot control valve.
Pilot control valve
At control covers for set-up of a directional spool valve (3) or seat valve (4), the porting pattern is realized according to ISO 4401 and DIN 24340.
The cartridge element (1) and the control cover (2) form a functional unit. It is calibrated at the factory and must not be disassembled or combined with other third-party components.
The closed spool position is monitored by the attached position switch (5).

Inductive position switches
Contactless position switches with integrated switching amplifiers are switched shortly before reaching the spool position to be monitored. The spool position reached is displayed by a binary signal.
Advantages of the position switches:
Short-circuit-proof Direct monitoring of the spool position at the control spool. Long life cycle High reliability due to no use of dynamic seals Reaction time of the switch upon operation approx. 15 ms.Notice:
Valves with inductive position switches and proximity sensors in safety-relevant controls may only be assembled and commissioned by hydraulically and electrically trained specialists. Service work requires special tools and equipment. This work may only be performed by authorized specialists or in the factory!
Improper work at safety equipment leads to a risk of personal injury and damage to property!
The valve components are coordinated in the production plant and adjusted during assembly. They must not be interchanged. In case of valve or position switch defects, the complete valve must be exchanged! The factory setting of the position switch must not be changed. The position switch may only be set by Bosch Rexroth. The position switch must be automatically monitored by the machine control to prevent initiation of a new machine cycle even in case of a defect at the position switch.Orifice selection
