Product Overview
The Rexroth LC 16 A05E74 (Material Number: R900912566) is a high-performance two-way logic cartridge valve designed for demanding industrial hydraulic systems. As part of the Rexroth LC series, this component functions as a pilot-operated, poppet-type cartridge valve that provides reliable directional control, pressure regulation, and load-holding capabilities when integrated into a manifold block. The LC 16 A05E74 is engineered with a size 16 cavity, offering a nominal flow capacity suitable for medium to high-flow circuits. Its robust poppet and seat design ensures tight shut-off with minimal leakage, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise control of actuator movement and secure load holding. The valve operates on a two-stage principle, where a pilot signal controls the main poppet, allowing for smooth, controlled opening and closing with excellent stability. This cartridge valve is a direct-fit replacement for original Rexroth components, ensuring seamless integration into existing manifold systems and maintaining the high standards of reliability and performance expected from Bosch Rexroth hydraulic technology.
