The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40015LC1W is a genuine G-series two-unit air-preparation set: a filter regulator that filters and regulates in one body, coupled to a lubricator. Two bodies do the work of three, with PT1/2" ports, a 5 µm element, a differential-pressure drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
GFC40015LC1W is a genuine AirTAC G-series two-unit air-treatment set: a filter-regulator and a lubricator supplied as one matched pair, covering filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication on a single order. This size 400 unit is threaded PT1/2 (1/2 in) and the W code selects the finer 5 um filter element instead of the 40 um standard, for cleaner air to sensitive downstream components. It has a differential-pressure drain, is built on the low-pressure (L) regulator type, and includes a round external pressure gauge on the MPa scale. Both bowls on this 400 size are PC (polycarbonate). Max working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and operating temperature is -5 to 70 C (non-freezing); the medium is compressed air only.
This is a genuine AirTAC part sold through our US distribution. The GFC two-unit series spans sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with drain choices (differential-pressure, automatic or manual), 40 um standard or 5 um (W) filtration, gauge scales in MPa, psi or bar, and G (BSPP) or NPT thread options. AirTAC publishes flow for these units as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we confirm the flow and datasheet figures for your application on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. The low-pressure type adjusts over a lower band than standard; we confirm the exact figures from the factory datasheet. The set has no separate bracket code — the two units couple together with their own mounting hardware. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.

Field order is size, port, drain, type, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination set. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GFR400-15 filter regulator and GL400-15 lubricator.
A GFC is two units because filtering and regulating share one body. A GC is three separate units — filter, regulator and lubricator. Both filter, regulate and lubricate; the GFC is the shorter assembly, the GC keeps the filter and regulator serviceable as separate bodies.

Feeds the pneumatic grippers and lift cylinders on laboratory automation benches, where the 5 um element keeps fine contamination away from precision valve internals and the lubricator protects high-cycle cylinders.
Conditions instrument-quality air ahead of pneumatic positioners and control valves on a process skid, combining fine filtration with a held set point so the positioner receives steady, clean supply pressure.
Placed at the supply to diverter gates, stops and pushers along a conveyor line, removing condensate and fine particles while holding regulated pressure for repeatable gate timing.
Size 400 with PT1/2 ports suits larger machine supply lines in the G-series range; step to 300 or 600 as your port size dictates. The W code fits the 5 um element here - choose it over the 40 um standard when precision valves, air bearings or measuring equipment sit downstream. Drain options are the differential-pressure drain fitted here, automatic (A), or manual (M). Gauge choices are the round external MPa gauge fitted here, the embedded square gauge, psi or bar scales, or no gauge. This is the low-pressure (L) regulator type; its setting range is specific to that type and we confirm the exact figures on request. Thread is PT as standard, with G (BSPP) or NPT available to order. AirTAC publishes flow as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream, so if any branch must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator or use a GFR400-15 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes flow for the G series as capacity curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not state one number here. Share your working pressure and demand and we will confirm the flow and datasheet figures for this unit on request.
Choose the W code when the downstream equipment is sensitive to fine particles - precision valves, positioners, measuring devices or high-cycle cylinders. GFC40015LC1W fits the 5 um element in the same PT1/2, size 400 low-pressure set with differential-pressure drain and MPa round gauge.
