The Bosch Rexroth LFA 32 GWA-7X/P12T12/12 (R978910273) is a sophisticated way cartridge valve engineered for seamless integration into compact block designs. This component facilitates a range of hydraulic functions, including pressure, directional, and throttle controls, or any combination thereof. Optimized to match the flow requirements of different actuators, this valve allows for cost-effective solutions by enabling multiple functions within a single element.
The LFA 32 GWA-7X/P12T12/12 consists of a control cover that houses the control bores and may include additional features such as stroke limitation, hydraulically controlled directional seat valves, or shuttle valves depending on the desired overall function. Electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can also be accommodated on the control cover. The installation kit comprises several parts: a bushing, ring (up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and closing spring.
This way cartridge valve operates based on pressure-dependent functionality with three critical pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) dictating its performance. The area ratios between these zones influence the valve's response to pressure changes and determine its spool position by balancing opening and closing forces. The valve allows for flow from A to B or vice versa while ensuring that channel A remains leak-free when blocked.
It is designed to work with various area ratios and springs to achieve different cracking pressures. The standard series of this model accommodates maximum operating pressures up to bar and maximum flow rates up to l/min. As an integral part of hydraulic systems, the LFA 32 GWA-7X/P12T12/12 ensures precise control over fluid dynamics in demanding 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*. |

Notice:
The dimensions are nominal dimensions which are subject to tolerances.
Notices:
The specified 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 μtotal = 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.Mounting screws (included in scope of delivery)
