Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASWK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for demanding pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC500N20ASWK F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/4in port handles high flow requirements, while the 5 um element captures fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
The nylon bowl construction houses an automatic drain that clears 108 cc of condensate without an operator, complementing the 225 cc oil reservoir to minimize maintenance interventions. A reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol. The unit regulates between 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and the build order ensures oil mist is added downstream of the regulator seat.

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 GAC500N20ASWK Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds multiple pneumatic wrenches and actuators along a vehicle production conveyor, relying on the 3/4in port to sustain high air volume without pressure drops.
Palletizing Robots
Conditions air for heavy-duty end effectors that grip and stack boxes, where the 5 um element protects precision gripper jaws from abrasive dust.
Metal Stamping Presses
Supplies lubricated air to large pneumatic clutches and cylinders, utilizing the automatic drain to handle moisture generated during high-cycle stamping.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC500N20ASWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 2460 g assembly when a machine header demands a robust supply, stepping up from the GAC400 which offers a 6000 L/min plotted envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet versus this body's 7000 L/min. The 5 um element trades a slightly shorter service life for precision protection, and the automatic drain is decisive for unattended or wet lines. Because the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream, select a filter-regulator instead if the process requires strictly dry air. Replacement spares share the 500-20 suffix: GAF500-20, GAR500-20 and GAL500-20. Stepping from the GAC400 to this GAC500 increases the plotted flow envelope by roughly 1.2x.
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 GAC500N20ASWK FAQ
The standard type operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It features a 108 cc drain bowl, a 225 cc oil bowl, and weighs 2460 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to the unit. The catalogue details this component as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page, representing an ordering difference for specific circuit requirements.
