The Bosch Rexroth LFA32E-7X/CA20DQMG24FX08 (R900978853) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This valve is particularly notable for its modular setup, which allows for a variety of control cover options to be implemented depending on the selected functions. It is engineered to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions or any combination thereof, making it a versatile solution for controlling fluid dynamics in hydraulic systems. The LFA32E-7X/CA20DQMG24FX08 features a power section that fits into standardized receiving holes in the control block and is secured with a cover that also serves as the conduit for pilot control valves. The design includes an installation kit comprising essential components such as a bushing, ring (up to NG), valve poppet—with or without damping nose—and closing spring. Functionally, this way cartridge valve operates based on pressure differentials across three key areas: A1, A2, and A3. The variable area ratios A1:A2 allow for different annulus areas A2, which in turn influence the force dynamics and spool position of the valve. The valve can facilitate flow from A to B or vice versa while ensuring that channel A remains leak-free when pressurized by pilot oil. Furthermore, the LFA32E-7X/CA20DQMG24FX08 boasts high flow rates with low pressure drops and swift switching velocities while maintaining minimal leakage oil flows. Its robust design ensures high reliability and an extended life cycle. Other advantages include its compact size and light weight, simplifying installation and maintenance processes. With a maximum operating pressure of 350 bar and maximum flow of up to 300 l/min across various component series (X10, X20, X30), this way cartridge valve stands out as an efficient solution for hydraulic system management where space optimization and performance are critical.

Functional product design Modular set-up:• Cartridge valve with various options• Control cover in various variants for realization of selected functions• Electronic monitoring of the switching position Power and flow-optimized design:• High flows• Low pressure drops• High switching velocities• Low leakage oil flowsRobust design:• High reliability• Long life cycle Other features:• Small installation size, low weight• Easy to service

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).

Control cover "E" with electrical control of the closed position incl. installation kit: NG16 … 63

Notice:

The dimensions are nominal dimensions which are subject to tolerances.

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 = 0.14; adjust in case of modified surfaces.

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.
