***Disclaimer: The following summary contains information gathered from various sources such as product descriptions, technical specifications and catalogs. While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Bosch Rexroth directly.***
The Bosch Rexroth LFA32KWA-7X/P18 (R901083032) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve engineered for integration into a compact block design. This valve is particularly tailored for use in systems requiring precise control over pressure, direction, and throttle functions or combinations thereof. Its design allows for efficient solutions by matching the size to the flow rates of different actuator paths, providing cost-effective application across multiple functions.
The LFA32KWA-7X/P18 consists of two main components: a control cover and an installation kit. The control cover includes the necessary control bores and may feature additional functionalities such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves depending on the overall function required. For enhanced versatility, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be fitted to the control cover. The installation kit comprises a bushing, ring (applicable only up to certain sizes), valve poppet (with optional damping nose), and a closing spring.
This way cartridge valve operates based on pressure differences across three distinct pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3), with varying area ratios that influence its functionality. The effective areas in the opening direction are A1 and A2, while area A3 alongside the spring facilitates closure. The resultant force from these areas determines the spool position within the valve.
For fluid dynamics, the LFA32KWA-7X/P18 allows flow from port A to B or vice versa. When area A3 is pressurized through pilot oil discharge from channel B or an external pilot oil supply, channel A becomes blocked without leakage. The valve's design accommodates various area ratios and springs to achieve different cracking pressures.
The Bosch Rexroth LFA32KWA-7X/P18 is built for standard series size requirements with component series X and X2 offering maximum operating pressures of up to several hundred bars and maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute.
Overall, this way cartridge valve by Bosch Rexroth represents a highly adaptable component suitable for advanced hydraulic systems demanding precise control and efficiency in various industrial applications.

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).Installation bore and connection dimensions according to ISO 7368

| 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*. |
