The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020SK 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 lines, this GAC50020SK assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves heavy-duty circuits, while the standard pressure range operates between 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). A 40 um element captures solid particles, and a circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread.
Weighing 2460 g, the unit requires a firm panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The 108 cc condensate bowl and 225 cc oil reservoir dictate the maintenance rhythm, and the fitted reverse-flow (reflux) valve appears as a distinct pneumatic symbol in the catalogue. Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, with oil mist injected last so the regulator seat stays clean.

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 multi-station machine headers where a steady 3/4in air supply powers heavy pneumatic presses and robotic tooling.
Conditions air for high-flow stretch wrappers and pallet handlers that rely on continuous lubrication to prevent cylinder wear.
Supports extensive conveyor networks by removing moisture and solid grain before the air reaches high-speed sorting actuators.
This model uses a PC bowl and ships with both semi-auto and manual drains, meaning condensate dumps on pressure drops but can also be emptied on demand. The standard S type regulates up to 0.9 MPa, unlike the L type which caps at 0.4 MPa. If your downstream line must remain completely free of oil, you should choose a dedicated filter-regulator instead, as this lubricator intentionally adds oil mist downstream.
Replacement spares share the exact same body and port suffix: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC500 is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is roughly 1.2x the 6000 L/min envelope of the GAC400. Because the maximum supply is 1.0 MPa and the standard type tops out at 0.9 MPa, you only have about 0.1 MPa of regulation headroom, so plan a supply near 1.0 MPa if you truly need 0.9 MPa out.
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.
This unit operates at 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It features a 108 cc drain bowl, a 225 cc oil bowl, a 40 um element, and weighs 2460 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The K signifies that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to this assembly. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page, representing an ordering difference for this specific F.R.L. combination.
