The Bosch Rexroth LFA16DBW3-7X/420/12 (R978917185) is a sophisticated hydraulic control valve designed for pressure functions within hydraulic systems. This model is a pilot-operated cartridge valve that can be seamlessly integrated into standardized receiving holes according to DIN ISO specifications, and secured with a control cover. The valve is versatile, allowing for various pressure functions through the combination of different control covers. For pressure relief applications, the LFA16DBW3-7X/420/12 operates as a seat valve without an area difference at port B, ensuring that the effective pressure at port A is channeled to the spring side of the element via a pilot oil supply orifice. The spool remains closed under spring force until the set pressure is reached, at which point it opens to limit the pressure in accordance with its characteristics. When functioning as a pressure reducing valve, it operates with an open rest position. Similar to its relief function counterpart, this model uses no effective areas at port B and employs identical cover types for pilot control. The spool stays open under spring force for free flow from port B to A until the set pressure causes it to close and reduce the outlet pressure accordingly. This model accommodates manual pressure adjustment and can be paired with directional valves for enhanced functionality. It features options for position "a" and "b," enabling users to configure it according to specific system requirements. The LFA16DBW3-7X/420/12 is designed for optimal performance within circulation circuits where precise control of fluid dynamics is critical. With a component series X and X and a maximum operating pressure of up to 420 bar, this Bosch Rexroth valve is built for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Its robust construction ensures consistent operation even under high-pressure conditions, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications where precision and control are paramount.

General

2-way cartridge valves for pressure functions are pilot-operated valves in seat or spool design. The power section designed as cartridge valve (1) is installed into a receiving hole standardized according to DIN ISO 7368 and closed with a control cover (2).

The pilot control valve (4) for manual or electrically proportional pressure adjustment is integrated into the control cover (2) or is installed on the control cover (2) as pilot valve with mounting dimensions according to DIN 24 340.

By combination of cartridge valves with the control covers, different pressure functions can be realized. .

Pressure relief function

The cartridge valve (1) for the pressure relief function (type LC . DB...) is designed as seat valve without area difference (no effective area at port B). The effective pressure at port A is directed via the pilot oil supply orifice (5) to the spring side (6) of the element. Under the pressure set at the pilot control valve (4), the spool (3) is pressure-compensated and closed by the spring force.

On reaching the set pressure, the spool (3) is opened and the pressure at port A is limited according to the pressure-flow characteristics.

Pressure reducing function

Rest position open

The cartridge valve for the pressure reducing function is designed as spool valve without area difference (no effective areas at port B).

As pilot control valve, identical cover types as for the pressure relief function are applied (type LFA..DB...).

The effective pressure at port A is directed via the pilot oil supply orifice to the spring side of the spool. Under the performance limit and the pressure set at the pilot control valve, the spool is pressure-compensated and retained in open position by the spring force to enable free flow from port B to port A.

On reaching the set pressure, the spool is closed and the pressure at port A is reduced according to the pressure-flow characteristics.

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.
