Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020ASWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020ASWK 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 3/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020ASWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC50020ASWK F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves. A standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) is maintained by the regulator, while a fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
Weighing 2460 g, this unit requires a solid frame mount rather than tubing support. The automatic drain actively clears condensate from the 108 cc bowl without operator intervention. Because oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator, the regulating seat stays clean. This specific configuration includes a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.

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 GAC50020ASWK Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds multiple pneumatic actuators and spot-welding guns on a main production header, relying on the 108 cc automatic drain for continuous wet-air separation.
Palletizer Machine Headers
Conditions high-volume air for heavy-duty bagging and palletizing equipment where the 5 um element protects sensitive flow controls from grit.
CNC Tooling Clamps
Supplies regulated, oil-misted air to precision tool-changing cylinders, ensuring smooth actuation under steady 0.15-0.9 MPa pressure.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020ASWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/4in body for medium-to-heavy air preparation, noting its flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The PC bowl suits standard -5 to 70 C environments, while the 5 um element provides finer filtration than the 40 um standard, demanding more frequent element changes. If your downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a standalone filter-regulator instead. Spares follow the 500-20 suffix: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. Stepping down, the GAC400 offers a 6000 L/min plotted envelope, making this GAC500 about 17% larger in flow capacity. The 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure provides a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa maximum, but this is strictly a safety rating, not permission to operate above 1.0 MPa.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/4" 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 108 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 2460 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 GAC50020ASWK 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 from -5 to 70 C, features a 108 cc drain bowl and a 225 cc oil bowl, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, and weighs 2460 g.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to the unit. The official catalogue depicts this as a distinct pneumatic symbol with further details provided on its own dedicated page.
