About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N15SW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC400N15SW F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/2in port pairs with a 5um element to trap fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. A standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) is maintained, while the included circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, with oil mist added last so the internal seat never fouls. The 2390g assembly uses a nylon bowl housing 100 cc of condensate capacity and 185 cc of oil. Because the unit adds oil downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if your process requires strictly dry, unlubricated lines.

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 GAC400N15SW Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds main air headers for robotic welding cells where a 1/2in supply and 5um filtration protect precision grippers from fine scale ingress.
High-Speed Form Fill Seal
Conditions air for continuous motion packaging machines, ensuring the 0.15-0.9 MPa operating range holds steady during rapid cylinder cycling.
CNC Tool Changers
Supplies lubricated air to pneumatic tool change systems on machining centers, relying on the 185 cc oil bowl to maintain consistent mist over long shifts.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N15SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
This 1/2in ported unit sits in the GAC400 size class, striking a balance between flow capacity and physical footprint. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is exactly double the 3000 L/min envelope of the smaller GAC300. It carries a factory-fitted circular gauge reading MPa/psi, and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair handles condensate removal. The 5um nylon element provides finer filtration than the 40um standard, requiring more frequent service to prevent clogging. Replacement spares are ordered individually as GAF400-15, GAR400-15 and GAL400-15. Stepping up from the GAC300 gives you exactly 2x the plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet.
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 GAC400N15SW FAQ
This standard type unit operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It functions from -5 to 70 C, features a 5um element, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the assembly weighs 2390 g.
The 5um W element catches far finer particles than the standard 40um filter, making it ideal for instrument air or precision valves, though it requires more frequent replacement. The nylon bowl provides a durable, lightweight housing alternative to the standard PC material while retaining the same 1.0 MPa pressure rating.
