THM – LC 2-way cartridge valves – Pressure valves
Master the absolute extremes of fluid power with the THM LC Series 2-Way Cartridge Valve for pressure control. Engineered as a high-capacity logic element for massive, custom-built hydraulic manifolds, this pilot-operated poppet or spool valve effortlessly processes breathtaking flow rates up to 7,000 L/min while sustaining relentless operating pressures up to 420 bar. By inserting the core cartridge into a standardized DIN 24 342 cavity and sealing it with a specialized control cover, engineers can achieve a vast array of tailored pressure functions within a single, highly compact block. Ranging from Size 16 up to a massive Size 100, the LC Series provides the ultimate, scalable foundation for the most powerful industrial presses, marine equipment, and heavy civil machinery in the world.
Core Technical Specifications:-
- Valve Architecture: 2-Way Cartridge Valve (Pressure Control Logic Element)
- Model Series & Sizes: Series 7X: Sizes 16, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63
- Maximum Operating Pressure: Up to 420 bar
- Maximum Flow Rate: Up to 7,000 L/min
- Manifold Cavity Standard: DIN 24 342
- Pilot Interface Standard: DIN 24 340 [D03, D05]
Key Features & Engineering Advantages:-
- Unprecedented 7000 L/min Capacity: Safely channels and controls up to 7,000 liters of hydraulic fluid per minute under extreme 420-bar conditions, entirely eliminating the bottlenecks and pressure drops that plague massive multi-actuator systems.
- Modular Control Covers: The true power of the LC Series lies in its modularity. By combining the base cartridge valve with different control covers, system designers can configure the exact pressure relief, sequence, or reducing functions required for their specific heavy-duty circuit.
- Manual or Proportional Pilot Control: Highly adaptable to your machine's operating system. The pilot valve can be seamlessly integrated directly into the control cover for manual operation, or mounted on top for advanced, electrical proportional pressure control.
- Standardized DIN Integration: The main cartridge drops perfectly into a universal DIN 24 342 cavity bore, while the top control covers feature standard DIN 24 340 [D03, D05] interfaces, guaranteeing drop-in compatibility for pilot valves across global hydraulic platforms.
- Poppet or Spool Architectures: Available in both pilot-operated poppet and spool designs, giving engineers the flexibility to prioritize absolute zero-leakage sealing (poppet) or smooth, metered pressure transitions (spool).
Ideal Industry Applications:-
The massive flow processing, modular control, and extreme 420-bar resilience make the LC Series the premier manifold logic element for:
- Large-Scale Industrial Presses: Providing the massive, instantaneous fluid dumping and pressure regulation required by multi-ton metal-forming presses, deep drawing presses, and heavy plastic injection molding machines.
- Heavy Civil & Foundation Machinery: Serving as the primary pressure control logic in the massive custom blocks of heavy piling rigs, tunnel boring machines, and large-scale dredging equipment.
- Extreme Earthmoving Equipment: Processing the immense, high-pressure hydraulic demands of the primary boom and bucket cylinders on 50+ ton mining excavators and massive wheel loaders.
- Marine & Offshore Hydraulics: Delivering space-saving, high-flow pressure control for heavy-duty shipboard winches, offshore cranes, and massive platform stabilization cylinders.
Why Choose the THM LC Cartridge Valve?
- Limitless Scalability: With sizes ranging from 16 to 100, it scales perfectly from pilot functions to massive main-power circuits.
- Manifold Optimization: The cartridge-and-cover design allows you to build incredibly dense, space-saving custom hydraulic blocks.
- Universal Compatibility: Strict adherence to DIN cavity and pilot standards ensures seamless integration with your existing components.
