The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020S 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatic systems, this GAC50020S combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves heavy-duty applications, while the standard pressure type operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 40 um element. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
Weighing 2460 g, this assembly requires a solid panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The 108 cc condensate bowl and 225 cc oil sump dictate the maintenance rhythm, and the semi-auto drain dumps water on every pressure drop alongside a manual override. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a separate filter-regulator instead.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF500-20 filter, GAR500-20 regulator, GAL500-20 lubricator — all three share this body and port.
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.

Feeds large bore cylinders and multi-station headers on a vehicle manufacturing line where a steady 3/4in air supply is essential for high-force clamping.
Conditions air for heavy-duty end-effectors and grippers handling full pallet loads, ensuring consistent pressure and oil mist for continuous actuator movement.
Supplies the main air preparation feed for large pneumatic presses and safety circuits, handling high flow demands without excessive pressure drop.
This 3/4in unit sits in a high-capacity size class, with its catalogue flow curve plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, compared to the 12000 L/min envelope of the GAC600. The PC bowl is standard, with metal and nylon alternatives available for different environments. The semi-auto and manual drain pair requires an operator presence, unlike the automatic drain option. The 40 um element suits general plant air, whereas the 5 um alternative traps finer particles for precision valves. Replacement spares follow the body-port suffix exactly: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. Because the 1.0 MPa maximum supply is only 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa standard setting, plan a supply near 1.0 MPa if you truly need maximum outlet pressure.
Quick checklist
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.
The standard pressure type regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 108 cc and the oil bowl holds 225 cc. It weighs 2460 g and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
This model is fitted with both a semi-auto and a manual drain. The semi-auto mechanism expels condensate automatically each time the system pressure drops, while the manual option allows on-demand draining by an operator during regular checks.
