## Bosch Rexroth LC-8X Cartridge Valve Series Expands

Bosch Rexroth is expanding its LC-8X 2-way cartridge valve series, used in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems, with new nominal sizes 80, 100, and 125. This innovation provides increased efficiency, especially in directional control and pressure regulation applications, with high flow capacity and reduced pressure losses.

### High Flow Capacity and Long Service Life

• The new sizes are suitable for a maximum operating pressure of 450 bar, allowing for use in demanding industrial environments.
• An integrated stem seal is standard to ensure continuous sealing performance.
• The valves are designed to withstand 10 million load cycles at maximum switching capacity, demonstrating suitability for long-term and heavy-duty applications.

### Reduced Pressure Loss and Energy Savings

• Optimized internal flow geometry reduces pressure losses compared to previous generation LC-6X and LC-2X valves.
• Lower pressure losses reduce heat generation in hydraulic circuits, thereby reducing the need for cooling.
• The friction-reducing piston design minimizes internal leakage and reduces energy losses.

### Standardization and Backward Compatibility

• The valve architecture is standardized across different sizes, simplifying system integration.
• The design, compatible with older series, allows for the reuse of existing covers, reducing the need for system redesign.

### Material Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility

• The valves are supplied in impact-resistant round containers made from recycled materials.
• This approach represents a significant step towards reducing resource consumption without changing technical performance.

Bosch Rexroth's new LC-8X cartridge valves offer an ideal solution for hydraulic systems that prioritize high performance, durability, and energy efficiency.
