The Bosch Rexroth LFA 40 GWA-7X/A15/12 (R978032383) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block designs. This product is tailored to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions or a combination thereof through control with respective pilot control valves. With its power section that fits standardized receiving holes according to ISO, the valve can be efficiently adjusted to suit various flow requirements of an actuator, offering a cost-effective solution for multiple functions. The LFA 40 GWA-7X/A15/12 is comprised of a control cover and an installation kit. The control cover includes the necessary control bores and may feature a stroke limitation function, a hydraulically controlled directional seat valve, or a shuttle valve depending on the overall function needed. Furthermore, it's possible to equip the control cover with electrically operated directional spool or seat valves. The installation kit contains essential components such as a bushing, ring (only up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and closing spring. This valve's operation is pressure-dependent, creating three distinct pressurized areas—A1, A2, A3—which are crucial for its function. The area ratios A1:A2 can be either 0.7:1 or 1:1 depending upon the version selected. These ratios influence the annulus areas A2 and consequently affect the area A3 as well. In operation, areas A1 and A2 are active in the opening direction while area A3 along with the spring work in the closing direction. The balance between these forces determines the spool position within the way cartridge valve. The design allows for flow from port A to B or vice versa while ensuring channel A remains blocked without leakage when pressurization occurs in area A3. This product comes in standard series size with component series X and X options available. It boasts a maximum operating pressure of up to bar and can accommodate maximum flow rates of l/min as specified by order requirements.

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.
