Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20LNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20LNW 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20LNW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for heavy pneumatic lines, this GAC500C20LNW assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port pairs with a 2460 g mass, requiring a firm panel mount rather than tubing support. Outfitted with a 5 um element, it captures fine particulates for sensitive valve operations, while the metal bowl suits rugged plant environments.
Air routes through the filter, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat stays clean. Operating at the lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), it is built for low-force applications. The semi-auto and manual drain pair clears the 108 cc condensate bowl, and no gauge is supplied, leaving a 1/4in connection for adding one.

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 GAC500C20LNW Is Used
Textile Manufacturing Lines
Feeds low-pressure air to large weaving actuators where the 5 um element protects delicate tensioning valves from lint and fine dust.
Carton Erecting Stations
Supplies a steady 0.4 MPa to folding cylinders, using the 225 cc oil bowl to maintain consistent lubrication over long production runs.
Sheet Metal Forming
Conditions air for low-force press clamps, relying on the robust metal bowl to withstand occasional tooling impacts on the factory floor.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20LNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/4in body for substantial flow needs, noting the catalogue flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, compared to the 12000 L/min envelope of the GAC600. The metal bowl provides durability, while the 5 um element requires more frequent service than the standard 40 um grade to protect precision instruments. Because the lubricator introduces oil downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if the process demands an oil-free environment. Spares follow the 500-20 suffix: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. The lower pressure type tops out at 0.4 MPa, which is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa ceiling, so verify your machinery never requires higher force.
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 GAC500C20LNW FAQ
This unit operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 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 5 um element, and weighs 2460 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The N in the ordering code indicates no gauge is supplied, so the set pressure cannot be read without adding one. The body features a 1/4in gauge connection for installing a separate gauge later. The thread is PT, which corresponds to an MPa/psi scale if a gauge is mounted.
