About the Airtac BC Series Air Treatment Combination (Filter Regulator Lubricator) BC40001
BC40001 is the largest three-unit set in the AirTAC AC/BC catalog, pairing BF4000C filter, BR4000C regulator and BL4000C lubricator on PT1/2 ports. The digit 1 in the code selects the MPa gauge scale, and with the A option absent the 60 cc drain bowl works on differential plus manual draining, the configuration every catalog model shares.
This is the only size in the listed range with a 60 cc drain bowl and a 90 cc lubricator reservoir, so it suits high-consumption circuits that would empty a smaller bowl quickly. The regulator still covers 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20 to 130 psi), maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the 40 um element operates from -5 to 70 C.

How to choose
Choose BC40001 when the supply line is PT1/2 and you want the MPa gauge fitted; the A-line tops out at PT1/4, so no AC code reaches this port. Step down to BC30001 for PT3/8 headers with lighter demand, or order BC4000A to add an automatic drain to the same body. W gives the 5 um element, N removes the gauge, and G or T suffixes change the thread from PT to G or NPT.
Applications
Molding machine peripherals
Supply air to ejection, core-pull and part-removal circuits on 1/2 PT lines, where the 90 cc lubricator reservoir feeds high-cycle cylinders without frequent refill.
Warehouse automation drives
Runs lifters, clampers and door actuators on automated storage equipment, with the MPa gauge letting technicians confirm the 0.15 to 0.9 MPa setting during maintenance rounds.
Large-pilot valve feeds
Provides clean, regulated pilot air to big spool and process valves that need the PT1/2 port and the 40 um element to keep the pilot stage free of particles.
FAQ
What does the BC40001 code include?
A BF4000C filter, BR4000C regulator and BL4000C lubricator on PT1/2 PT-thread ports, a digit-1 MPa scale gauge, a standard 40 um element and a differential plus manual drain; no automatic drain is fitted unless you order the A version BC4000A.
What are the key figures of BC40001 in one place?
Port PT1/2; regulating range 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20 to 130 psi); maximum pressure 1.0 MPa (145 psi); proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi); drain bowl 60 cc; lubricator capacity 90 cc; 40 um element; operating temperature -5 to 70 C.
