The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC50020SNW 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).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for heavy pneumatic demands, this AirTAC F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves as the inlet for the 5 um element, which captures fine particles before the standard regulator sets the downstream pressure between 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling.
Weighing 2460 g, the assembly requires a solid frame mount rather than tubing support, and its 225 cc oil bowl reduces the frequency of refills on continuous lines. This specific code ships without a pressure gauge, leaving the 1/4in gauge connection open for operators to add a preferred instrument. Condensate is managed by a semi-auto drain that dumps on pressure drops alongside a manual override.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAC catalogue (pages 216-217). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAC500 is 1/4" if you add one.

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 robotic welding arms and body panel handling actuators that rely on a steady supply of finely filtered, lubricated air.
Conditions air for heavy-duty pneumatic grippers and stretch wrap machinery where high flow and consistent pressure are critical.
Protects sensitive tool changers and air-blast clearing systems by trapping fine particulates down to 5 um before they reach the spindle.
Choose this 3/4in body when a machine demands high flow capacity, as the catalogue flow curve for the GAC500 is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, compared to the GAC600 which extends to 12000 L/min. The 5 um element provides finer protection for precision valves than the standard 40 um grade, though it will require more frequent replacement. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the individual components are separately orderable as GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. Stepping up from the GAC400 to this body increases the oil capacity from 185 cc to 225 cc, yielding a 1.2x service interval extension.
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 standard type unit operates within a pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and handles a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The operating temperature spans -5 to 70 C. It features a 108 cc drain bowl and a 225 cc oil bowl, weighs 2460 g, and requires ISO VG 32 or equivalent lubricant.
The N in the product code indicates that no circular gauge is supplied from the factory. The unit features a 1/4in gauge connection, allowing operators to install a specific PT-thread gauge reading in MPa/psi that suits their monitoring preferences.
