Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASK 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).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatic setups, this GAC500N20ASK assembly integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves as the gateway for standard 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) operation, catching 40 um particulates while a fitted circular gauge displays the set pressure in MPa/psi. Its 2460 g mass dictates a firm panel or frame mount rather than relying on downstream tubing for support.
Air flows sequentially through the filter, regulator and lubricator, ensuring oil mist is introduced strictly downstream so the regulator seat stays clean. This specific unit pairs a nylon bowl with an automatic drain, clearing condensate without an operator present. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown in the catalogue as a distinct pneumatic symbol, and the assembly uses standard PT threads.

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 GAC500N20ASK Is Used
Automotive Assembly Line
Feeds a multi-station manufacturing cell where the 3/4in port and 7000 L/min flow envelope sustain high-cycle pneumatic presses and robotic grippers.
Palletizing Equipment
Conditions air for heavy-duty case erectors and pallet wrappers, relying on the automatic drain to handle moisture during continuous shifts.
CNC Machine Tool Header
Prepares main plant air for a row of machining centers, using the 40 um element to protect precision valves from shop debris.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/4in body when a machine header requires substantial air preparation, stepping up from the GAC400 which offers a 6000 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet versus the 7000 L/min curve available here. The nylon bowl keeps the build light while handling the same 1.0 MPa maximum pressure as metal or PC alternatives. Because the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if your line must remain oil-free. Should a component fail, order the GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20 spares individually. Stepping up from the GAC400, this unit provides roughly 1.2x the flow envelope capacity of its smaller neighbor.
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 GAC500N20ASK FAQ
This standard type unit operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It handles temperatures from -5 to 70 C, uses a 108 cc drain bowl and a 225 cc oil bowl, weighs 2460 g, and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The K in the part number indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue illustrates as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page. Additionally, the A specifies an automatic drain that actively expels condensate from the 108 cc bowl without requiring manual intervention.
