Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has See datasheet ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S
The GAFR30015S is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is cleaned and then set to a steady outlet pressure without needing separate components. This 1/2in port model has a 40 um element, a 60 cc condensate bowl, and weighs 500 g, making it a mid-size unit for shop-floor air preparation.
It operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and includes both semi-auto and manual drains. The single-body design means fewer potential leak points and less rail space compared to installing a separate filter plus regulator, and the 60 cc bowl is the key service interval driver for this size class.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFCB52-30 F.R.L. combination instead.

Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Where the Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S Is Used
Machine tool air prep
Feed a single machining center or assembly station with clean, regulated air at a steady pressure for consistent cylinder and tool actuation.
Test bench supply
Provide a stable 0.15-0.9 MPa source for pneumatic test fixtures or calibration rigs where the 40 um element protects sensitive valves and gauges.
Short production line
Condition air for a compact conveyor or packaging cell with a few actuators, where the 500 g body mounts easily on a frame or panel.
Is the Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR30015S when you need a 1/2in port with a 40 um element and the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa range. The PC bowl is the default build, while the included mounting bracket suits panel or frame installation; the circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted. For wet or unattended lines, the A option swaps the semi-auto+manual drain for an automatic one, and the W option upgrades to a 5 um element for finer filtration. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC300-15 combination instead of this unit. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan for a supply near 1.0 MPa when running at the upper setpoint.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (See datasheet here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC, Metal, Nylon
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the See datasheet bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the See datasheet unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFCB52-30 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac B52-GAFR Copper-Free Air Preparation Unit B52-GAFR30015S FAQ
The GAFR30015S is a filter & regulator with a 1/2in port, 60 cc drain bowl, and 500 g weight. It operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it uses a 40 um element.
The GAFR30015S combines both functions in one body, so it filters the air and regulates the outlet pressure in a single unit. A GAF only filters, and a GAR only regulates, requiring two separate components to do what this one does.
