Bosch Rexroth Expands Cartridge Valve Size Range

[Ahmet Ö.]

Bosch Rexroth is expanding its LC-8X cartridge valve series, which reduces pressure losses and increases efficiency in high-flow hydraulic applications, with nominal sizes 80, 100, and 125. The new products will be introduced at the IFAT 2026 exhibition in Munich, Germany.

### High Flow Capacity

• The new sizes support higher flow rates in hydraulic circuits for functions such as directional control and pressure control.
• The valves are suitable for operating pressures up to 450 bar, allowing their use in heavy industry and water management applications.
• The integrated shaft seal, standard within the valve, continuously maintains sealing integrity.
• Durability for 10 million load cycles ensures suitability for long-term heavy-duty operations.

### Reduced Pressure Losses and Energy Savings

• The LC-8X series reduces pressure loss with optimized flow geometry compared to previous models.
• Less pressure loss means less heat generation and reduced cooling requirements in hydraulic circuits.
• The friction-optimized piston design reduces internal leakage and energy loss.

### Standard Design and Backward Compatibility

• The standardized architecture simplifies system integration and the engineering process.
• Compatibility with previous models reduces the need for redesign in existing hydraulic systems.

### Material Efficiency and Sustainability

• The valves are packaged in impact-resistant round containers made from recycled materials.
• This practice supports an increase in resource utilization and an environmentally friendly approach while maintaining technical performance.
