The Bosch Rexroth LFA 40 H2-7X/FX15/12 (R978912979) is a high-performance way cartridge valve designed for integration into a compact block design. This valve is tailored to provide efficient control for pressure, directional, and throttle functions or combinations thereof, making it an adaptable solution for various hydraulic applications. The power section of this model is installed into a standardized receiving hole in the control block and sealed with a cover that also serves as the connection point to the pilot control valves. The model LFA 40 H2-7X/FX15/12 features a control cover equipped with control bores and can optionally include a stroke limitation function, a hydraulically controlled directional seat valve, or a shuttle valve depending on the required functionality. It also allows for the installation of electrically operated directional spool or seat valves on the control cover. The installation kit includes essential components such as a bushing, ring (up to NG), valve poppet (with or without damping nose), and closing spring. This way cartridge valve operates based on pressure-dependency, creating three distinct pressurized areas (A1, A2, A3) that are crucial for its function. The area ratios between these zones determine the spool position by balancing opening and closing forces. The LFA 40 H2-7X/FX15/12 ensures non-leakage blocking from channel A when area A3 is pressurized either through pilot oil discharge from channel B or an external pilot supply. Equipped with remote control port capabilities and stroke limitation options, this standard series way cartridge valve can handle maximum operating pressures up to bar and maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute. Its component series includes X variants that denote its size and specifications which are critical for ensuring compatibility and performance within hydraulic systems.

With remote control port With stroke limitation

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 are realized for the function. A1, A2, A3. 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.
