The AirTAC BFR Air Filter Regulator BFR40001 is a genuine A/B-line filter regulator with PT1/2" ports. It is the compact air-preparation line, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi) with a push-to-lock knob. Flow is confirmed from the datasheet on request.
The BFR40001 filters and regulates compressed air on 1/2 inch (PT) lines in one compact B-line body. Water and 40 um particles collect in the polycarbonate bowl, drained by differential pressure with a manual override, while the regulator holds downstream pressure anywhere in the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range. The self-locking push-to-lock knob keeps the setting in place, and the trailing 1 in the code means a pressure gauge with an MPa scale is included.
This is a genuine AirTAC compact A/B-line part for compressed air only, rated at up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and -5 to 70 C (non-freezing). The same filter-regulator also comes in the compact B-line at 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 inch (1500C, 2000C, 3000C). Flow is not published as a single rated figure, so ask us to confirm sizing and the full datasheet on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC A/B-line air-preparation data. Drain type, filter grade, gauge and low-pressure options are set by the model-code suffix - see the description. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we confirm from the factory datasheet.
Take the B-line BFR40001 for 1/2 inch porting on larger drops; the A-line AFR units serve 1/8 to 1/4 inch circuits in a smaller body, and the 1500C/2000C/3000C sizes cover the smaller B-line ports. The drain here is differential-pressure plus manual; specify A for an automatic drain or M for manual-only. The element is 40 um standard, with 5 um (W) available for finer filtration, and the standard type regulates 0.15-0.9 MPa while a low-pressure L type caps at 0.4 MPa. G (BSPP) or NPT thread can be ordered instead of the PT standard, and the trailing digit picks the gauge scale. Flow is not a single published rating, so share your demand and we will confirm sizing against the datasheet before you order.
Big air-operated ball and knife-gate valves on a plant floor use 1/2 inch actuation air. This filter-regulator conditions the header feeding the solenoid valves and holds the actuator pressure the valve sizing assumes.
Vacuum ejectors and clamp cylinders on a palletiser need clean air at one steady pressure so layer patterns stay accurate. The BFR40001 sits at the machine drop, its MPa gauge giving the maintenance team a visible setpoint.
Looms and knitting frames run compressed air to frame clamps and dobbies around the clock. This unit filters condensate and 40 um particles from the 1/2 inch supply and keeps the frame pressure locked against compressor swings.
The compact A/B-line catalogue does not list a single rated flow number; actual flow depends on your inlet pressure and set pressure. We will read the flow curve from the AirTAC datasheet and confirm it for your duty on request.
This standard configuration uses a differential-pressure drain that discharges collected condensate automatically during flow, plus a manual override you can open during checks. If you want continuous unattended draining, order the A suffix for a fully automatic drain, or M for manual-only.
