About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20SW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatic systems, this AirTAC F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves, operating within a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) standard pressure range. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread, allowing operators to monitor the set pressure directly.
Weighing 2460 g, this size class requires a robust panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The metal bowl equips the unit with a 108 cc condensate capacity and a 225 cc oil reservoir, establishing the baseline for maintenance intervals. Air passes through the filter, 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 GAC500C20SW Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds large robotic welding arms and body panel stamping presses where a 3/4in air supply and 5 um filtration protect sensitive pneumatic grippers from debris.
High-Speed Filling Machines
Conditions air for continuous beverage capping heads, relying on the 225 cc oil bowl to sustain long lubrication intervals between operator interventions.
CNC Machine Tooling
Supplies clean, regulated air to multi-axis machining centers, ensuring tool changer actuators receive stable pressure without regulator seat contamination.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500C20SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/4in model when a machine demands fine 5 um filtration alongside a substantial 225 cc oil capacity, stepping up from the GAC400 which offers a 6000 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet compared to the 7000 L/min envelope of this GAC500. The metal bowl suits rugged environments, while the semi-auto and manual drain pair provides flexible condensate management. If the downstream line must remain completely oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a separate filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the assembly accepts GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20 replacement units. Because the maximum supply is 1.0 MPa and the standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa, there is only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the top setting, so plan a supply near 1.0 MPa if you truly need 0.9 MPa out.
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 GAC500C20SW FAQ
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). It features a 5 um element, a metal bowl with a 108 cc drain capacity and a 225 cc oil capacity, weighs 2460 g, and functions between -5 to 70 C using ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The 5 um element captures far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it ideal for precision valves and instrument air, though it requires more frequent element service. The metal bowl provides a durable housing option for rugged environments while retaining the standard 1.0 MPa pressure rating.
