About the Airtac AF1500/2000 Filter AF1500W
AF1500W keeps the PT1/8, 15 cc A-line package of AF1500 but loads the 5 um W element, so the same small filter removes finer particles from branch lines. Pressure capability is unchanged: 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (20 to 145 psi) working, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and -5 to +70 C service as long as freezing is avoided.
The W in the order code is AirTAC's element selector - blank codes carry the 40 um element, so AF1500 and AF1500W differ only in filtration grade. Draining stays the differential plus manual arrangement on this A-line model, because the A automatic-drain option exists on the B-line only; confirm element service details from the datasheet.

How to choose
Order AF1500W instead of AF1500 when downstream devices on a PT1/8 line need finer than 40 um air. AF1500 is the standard-element twin, AF2000 enlarges the port to PT1/4, and BF2000 on the B-line pairs a larger 40 cc bowl with its own W variant - check the datasheet for the exact B-line W ordering string.
Applications
Lab and test benches
Feed laboratory rigs and pilot-operated test fixtures from PT1/8 lines, where the 5 um element gives cleaner air than the standard AF1500 element.
Fine orifice protection
Protect small jets, nozzles and metering devices on precision equipment, using the W element to trap particles the 40 um grade would pass.
Pilot air for sensitive devices
Supply pneumatic sensors and delicate pilot circuits at 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with the hand-drained 15 cc bowl suited to low-flow instrument branches.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the AF1500W?
PT1/8 ports, 5 um W element, 15 cc drain bowl, differential plus manual drain, operating pressure 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (20 to 145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid air, temperature -5 to +70 C with no freezing.
What changes with the W suffix compared to AF1500?
Only the element: W selects 5 um filtration instead of the standard 40 um. Ports, bowl capacity, drain type and pressure ratings stay identical to AF1500.
