Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASN
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASN 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 GAC500N20ASN
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatic lines, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves heavy-duty circuits, while the standard pressure range operates between 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). A 40 um element captures solid particles, and the automatic drain clears condensate without an operator attending the machine.
The nylon bowl equips this assembly for specific environmental considerations, and because no gauge is supplied, the set pressure cannot be read without adding one to the 1/4in gauge connection. Oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator, ensuring the internal seat stays clean. If a downstream process requires air without oil, a dedicated filter-regulator should be chosen instead of this lubricated setup.

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 GAC500N20ASN Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds large robotic welding arms and body framing actuators where a 3/4in supply main distributes air to multiple downstream stations.
Heavy Material Handling
Conditions air for high-thrust linear cylinders driving heavy pallet conveyors, ensuring consistent force through stable pressure regulation.
Corrugated Box Production
Supplies the large-volume air demands of corrugators and folder-gluers, utilizing the automatic drain to handle moisture in long runs.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
This 2460 g assembly requires a solid panel or frame mount rather than tubing support, placing it in a heavy size class. The automatic drain pairs well with the 108 cc condensate bowl to reduce maintenance interventions on wet lines. The three constituent units are separately orderable as GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20, meaning a damaged bowl does not require replacing the whole assembly. Stepping down to the GAC400 reduces the plotted flow envelope from 7000 L/min to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, whereas stepping up to the GAC600 provides a 12000 L/min envelope. 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 GAC500N20ASN FAQ
This standard type unit regulates from 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 in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, weighs 2460 g, features a 108 cc drain bowl and a 225 cc oil bowl, and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The N in the model code indicates no gauge is supplied. To monitor the outlet pressure, an operator must install a separate circular gauge into the 1/4in gauge connection on the regulator body, matching the PT thread scale to read MPa or psi.
