About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatic setups, this AirTAC F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port serves high-demand circuits, while the 5 um element captures fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. A nylon bowl encloses the 108 cc condensate sump and 225 cc oil reservoir.
Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling of the pressure-control mechanism. The automatic drain clears accumulated water without an operator, a vital feature for wet lines or unattended machinery. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, allowing immediate visual confirmation of the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) operating band.

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 GAC500N20ASW Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds large bore cylinders and multi-station headers on a production line where a steady 3/4in air supply and fine 5 um filtration protect robotic welding actuators.
Palletizing Robots
Conditions air for heavy-duty end-effectors and grippers that require continuous lubrication to handle high-throughput pallet building without premature wear.
CNC Machine Tooling
Supplies clean, regulated air to precision tool changers and air-blast nozzles, ensuring the 5 um screen stops grit from clogging fine spindle coolant jets.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 2460 g assembly for substantial air flows; its catalogue flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, compared to the 6000 L/min envelope of the GAC400. If the downstream line must remain completely free of oil, omit the lubricator and select a dedicated filter-regulator instead. The nylon bowl suits standard -5 to 70 C environments, but confirm chemical compatibility for aggressive surroundings. Should the element clog or a bowl crack, order the individual GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20 spares rather than replacing the whole unit. Stepping from the GAC400 to this GAC500 increases the condensate sump from 100 cc to 108 cc, an 1.08x capacity gain.
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 GAC500N20ASW FAQ
This standard type 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 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 automatic drain expels condensate from the 108 cc sump without manual intervention, ideal for unattended or high-humidity environments. Meanwhile, the 5 um element provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um grade, trapping microscopic particles to protect precision valves, though it requires more frequent element replacement.
