The Bosch Rexroth LFA40GWA-7X/A18/12 (R900959763) is a highly versatile way cartridge valve designed for integration into compact block systems. This model boasts a standardized receiving hole for the power section, accommodating connections A and B, which is then sealed with a cover that also serves as the connection to the pilot control valves. The valve allows for precise control over pressure, direction, and throttle functions or their combinations, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications. The scalability of this model to match different flow rates enhances efficiency, particularly when used in multi-function scenarios.
The LFA40GWA-7X/A18/12 consists of a control cover that includes the necessary control bores and may feature additional elements such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves depending on the required functionality. Electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can also be fitted to the control cover if needed. The installation kit comprises several components including a bushing, ring (up to NG size), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and a closing spring.
The functionality of this way cartridge valve is pressure-dependent with three critical pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) contributing to its operation. The area ratios A1:A2 can be either 0.7:1 or 1:1 based on different annulus areas A2 achieved by grading. These ratios significantly influence the opening and closing forces acting on the spool position of the valve.
Furthermore, this Bosch Rexroth valve allows fluid transition from port A to B or vice versa while ensuring that pressurization of area A3 effectively blocks channel A without any leakage when pilot oil is discharged from channel B or supplied externally. With varying area ratios, springs, and cracking pressures available within its standard series Size Component series X and Y configurations, it supports maximum operating pressures up to 350 bar and maximum flow rates up to 160 l/min. This makes it an efficient solution for a wide range of hydraulic system requirements where cost-effectiveness and adaptability are crucial.

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.

| 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*. |
