About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N15ALNW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic systems, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. It features a 1/2in port, a 5 um element for fine particle retention, and a nylon bowl. The lower-pressure type restricts the operating range to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it suitable for sensitive circuits. An automatic drain clears condensate without operator intervention.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. Weighing 2390 g, this assembly requires a solid panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. No gauge is supplied, but a 1/4in gauge connection allows a pressure indicator to be added later if needed.

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 GAC400N15ALNW Is Used
Precision Valve Manifolds
Feeds sensitive solenoid valve banks requiring low, stable pressure and 5 um filtration to prevent spool sticking.
Laboratory Pneumatics
Conditions air for delicate analytical instruments where operating pressures must stay below 0.4 MPa.
Light-Contact Packaging
Supplies soft-grip actuators handling fragile goods, ensuring consistent low-force motion via regulated oil-misted air.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N15ALNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this configuration for medium-flow duties requiring precise low-pressure control and fine filtration. The 5 um element traps far smaller particulates than the standard 40 um grade, protecting precision valves and instruments at the cost of more frequent element service. The automatic drain is decisive for unattended or wet lines, emptying the 100 cc condensate bowl without manual effort. If the machine must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the individual units are separately orderable as GAF400-15, GAR400-15 and GAL400-15.
The catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, offering a substantial sizing envelope. Because this is the lower-pressure type, the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the 0.9 MPa standard 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 GAC400N15ALNW FAQ
This lower-pressure type operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It features a 100 cc drain bowl, a 185 cc oil bowl, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, and weighs 2390 g.
No gauge is supplied with this unit. However, the body features a 1/4in gauge connection, allowing you to install a compatible pressure indicator reading in MPa/psi to match the default PT thread.
