About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30015SW
This GAFC30015SW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter and regulator share one body, and a lubricator mounts beside it on a T-bracket with quick clamps. Air enters the 1/2in port, gets filtered to 5 um and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist as the last step, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat.
The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm - with a 1020 g mass, this unit needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The circular gauge reads in MPa and psi for the PT thread, and the semi-auto drain dumps condensate on each pressure drop while the manual drain gives on-demand control.

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 GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30015SW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of pneumatic pilot valves on a packaging line where the 5 um element protects fine internal orifices from wear and the regulated pressure keeps actuation consistent.
Conveyor tensioning
Supply a belt tensioning cylinder on a material handling conveyor, where the 1/2in port delivers adequate flow and the semi-auto drain handles condensate during intermittent operation.
Machine tool lubrication
Lubricate a multi-spindle drilling head on a small machining center, where the 98 cc oil bowl sustains several shifts between refills and the 5 um element keeps abrasive particles out of the spindle bearings.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30015SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC30015SW when you need 1/2in ports with a 5 um element for finer filtration. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, while the semi-auto plus manual drain gives flexibility for both attended and semi-automated lines. The standard pressure type covers 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the PT thread with MPa/psi gauge scale matches most regional installations. If you need automatic condensate removal, select the A option; for a lower 0.15-0.4 MPa range, choose the L type. Spare parts are orderable separately as GAFR300-15 and GAL300-15.
With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan your inlet pressure accordingly if you need to run near the upper limit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/2" 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-regulator 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 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 1020 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 plain GAFR300-15 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30015SW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it must not freeze. The drain bowl holds 60 cc, the oil bowl holds 98 cc, and the unit weighs 1020 g. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
The W code specifies a 5 um filtering element instead of the standard 40 um. This traps much finer particles, which suits precision valves, instrument air, or sensitive pneumatic components. The trade-off is that the element will load up faster and need more frequent service or replacement compared to a 40 um element.
