***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 LFA 40 H2-7X/FX12/12 (R978914637) is a high-performance way cartridge valve designed for seamless integration into compact block systems. This model is engineered to facilitate pressure, directional, and throttle functions, or any combination thereof, through the control of pilot valves. Its optimized size adjustment caters to various flow rates for different actuator paths, ensuring cost-effective solutions for multiple functions within a single element. The LFA 40 H2-7X/FX12/12 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 required function. For further customization, electrically operated directional spool or seat valves can be accommodated by the control cover. The installation kit includes essential components like a bushing, ring (up to a certain size), valve poppet (with optional damping nose), and closing spring. This model operates based on pressure-dependent functionality with three critical pressurized areas labeled A1, A2, and A3. These areas are responsible for different aspects of the valve's operation—A1 and A2 contribute to opening forces while A3 along with the spring assists in closing. The spool position is determined by the net force resulting from these opening and closing forces. Fluid can flow from port A to B or vice versa through this way cartridge valve. When area A3 is pressurized either by pilot oil discharge from channel B or an external pilot oil source, channel A becomes blocked without leakage. This particular model features remote control ports and stroke limitation capabilities. It belongs to a standard series with component series options X1, X2, X3 and can handle maximum operating pressures up to several bar while accommodating maximum flow rates expressed in liters per minute. In summary, the Bosch Rexroth LFA 40 H2-7X/FX12/12 (R978914637) way cartridge valve offers versatile functionality and efficient design for customized hydraulic system applications requiring precise control over fluid dynamics without compromising on space or cost-effectiveness.

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.
