Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK is a genuine three-unit F.R.L. combination — a filter, a pressure regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/2" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatics, this GAC400C15ASNWK assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/2in port pairs with a 2390 g mass, placing it firmly in a mid-to-heavy size class that requires a proper panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, with oil mist added last so the internal seat never fouls. A 5 um element traps far finer particles than the 40 um standard, suiting precision valves and instrument air at the cost of more frequent element service.
This specific configuration uses a robust metal bowl and an automatic drain that clears condensate without an operator, a decisive feature for unattended or wet lines. No gauge is supplied, but the body features a 1/4in gauge connection if one needs to be added later to read the set pressure. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page. Operating pressure spans 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), while the ambient and fluid range sits at -5 to 70 C.

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 GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK Is Used
CNC Tooling Lines
Feeds precision air bearings and fine pneumatic spindles where the 5 um element protects tight tolerances from particulate fouling.
Automated Assembly Stations
Conditions the main 1/2in air header for multi-station robotic cells, relying on the automatic drain to handle continuous moisture.
High-Speed Packaging
Supplies oil-misted air to fast pneumatic grippers and diverters, ensuring consistent lubrication for high-cycle moving parts.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this configuration when a machine requires fine 5 um filtration and unattended condensate management. The 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl dictate the service interval, meaning fewer interventions than a smaller GAC300 unit. Because oil mist is added downstream, select a separate filter-regulator instead if the downstream line must remain strictly oil-free. The PT thread sets a MPa/psi gauge scale for operators, though you will need to supply your own gauge. If a part fails, the three units are separately orderable as GAF400-15, GAR400-15 and GAL400-15.
Stepping up from the GAC300 body increases the plotted flow curve from 3000 to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, effectively doubling the sizing envelope. Meanwhile, the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure provides a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum, which is a safety rating rather than permission to run above the limit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/2" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Thread & gauge scale (PT / G / NPT)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter first, lubricator last.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Fill the oil bowl with ISO VG 32 or equivalent only.
- check Drain condensate before the 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 2390 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any part of the line must stay oil-free, use a filter-regulator instead of an F.R.L. combination on that branch.
Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C15ASNWK FAQ
This standard type unit regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C using ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl holds 185 cc, while the entire assembly weighs 2390 g.
The N after the port means no gauge is supplied, though a 1/4in connection exists to add one. The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue draws as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page.
