## Bosch Rexroth Adds New Sizes to LC-8X Cartridge Valve Series
Bosch Rexroth is expanding its LC-8X 2-way cartridge valve series for high-flow hydraulic applications with new nominal sizes 80, 100, and 125. This innovation provides lower pressure losses and increased efficiency in directional and pressure control systems.

### Increased Flow Capacity in Hydraulic Systems
The newly added larger nominal sizes enable the LC-8X series to meet higher flow demands in directional and pressure regulation circuits. The valves are designed to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 450 bar, making them suitable for use in high-load industrial environments such as water management, heavy-duty machinery, and process systems.

### LC-8X Valve Series Features

• Nominal sizes: 80, 100, 125
• Maximum operating pressure: 450 bar
• Prevention of gap filtration with integrated shaft seal
• Durability of over 10 million load cycles
• Low pressure loss due to flow-optimized internal structure
• Reduced energy loss with friction-optimized piston design
• Compatible cover usage with previous generations (except for stroke limitation)
• Impact-resistant round packaging made from recycled materials

### Efficiency and Energy Saving
By optimizing fluid dynamics, pressure losses have been reduced compared to the previous LC-6X and LC-2X series. This reduces heat generation in hydraulic circuits, thereby lowering cooling requirements. Furthermore, the piston design minimizes energy losses, increasing overall energy efficiency in systems under continuous and variable loads.

### Standardization and Compatibility
The series' standard architecture simplifies system integration, shortens planning time in projects, and provides advantages in maintenance operations. Additionally, its backward compatibility with previous generation valves offers the possibility of upgrading existing systems without redesign.

### Sustainable Packaging
The valves are packaged in impact-resistant round containers made from recycled materials, which optimize resource use without compromising technical performance.

These new LC-8X valve sizes from Bosch Rexroth represent a significant step forward in meeting the high flow, durability, and energy efficiency requirements in industrial and mobile equipment.
