Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20ASWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20ASWK 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 GAC500C20ASWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for heavy pneumatic duties, the AirTAC GAC500C20ASWK is a complete F.R.L. combination pairing a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. This 3/4in ported unit uses a 5 um element to capture fine particulates, operates within the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) standard pressure range, and features a robust metal bowl. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT threads, and a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is included, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.
Weighing 2460 g, this body class demands a solid panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 108 cc bowl without an operator, while the 225 cc oil reservoir sets the lubricator service interval. Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls.

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 GAC500C20ASWK Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds large multi-station headers powering heavy-duty pneumatic presses and impact wrenches with a steady, lubricated 0.9 MPa supply.
Palletizing Robots
Conditions air for high-flow grippers and end-of-arm tooling, where the 5 um element protects precision valves from fine particulate ingress.
CNC Machining Centers
Supplies clean, regulated air to tool changers and air-blast systems, utilizing the automatic drain to handle wet compressor outputs unattended.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20ASWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/4in model when a machine header requires fine 5 um filtration alongside standard pressure regulation. The metal bowl suits harsher industrial environments compared to standard PC or nylon options. Because the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if the application requires strictly oil-free air. Should the element clog or a bowl get damaged, the assembly splits into individually orderable spares: 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 neighboring GAC400 body.
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 GAC500C20ASWK FAQ
This standard type unit regulates between 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, weighs 2460 g, and features a 108 cc drain bowl with a 225 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this specific F.R.L. combination. The official catalogue presents this component as a distinct pneumatic symbol with its own dedicated page for reference.
