The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N15ALNWK is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/2" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
This AirTAC GAFC300N15ALNWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. The 1/2in port size and 1020 g mass place it in the mid-range class, suitable for feeding a single machine station or a small multi-axis assembly cell.
Air enters the first body where the 5 um element removes fine particles and the regulator sets pressure to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). The lubricator then adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat. The nylon bowl is specified for this unit; the catalogue lists no material-specific performance differences, so confirm it suits your environment.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFC catalogue (pages 219-220). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFC300 is 1/8" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-15 filter & regulator, GAL300-15 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.
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.

Feed a pneumatic press or indexing table that needs regulated 0.15-0.4 MPa air. The 5 um element protects sensitive tooling from fine particulate, while the automatic drain keeps the bowl clear during long production runs.
Operate a coolant control valve on a CNC lathe where a lower regulated pressure prevents over-travel. The nylon bowl is specified for this build; confirm it suits the cutting-fluid atmosphere before installation.
Drive a single-acting cylinder on a carton-sealing station. The 1/2in port and 1020 g mass suit a fixed panel mount, and the automatic drain reduces maintenance on a line that runs multiple shifts.
The GAFC300 body with a 1/2in port offers a 60 cc condensate bowl and a 98 cc oil bowl, with the catalogue flow curve plotted to 3500 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The automatic drain clears condensate without operator intervention, which suits unattended or continuously running equipment. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it a better match for precision valves or instrument circuits, though it will need more frequent service. No gauge is supplied with this model; the 1/8" gauge connection is available if you add one later. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and the PT thread with MPa/psi scale is standard. The two units are orderable separately as GAFR300-15 and GAL300-15. For this lower-pressure type, the 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
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.
This lower-pressure unit operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It is rated for -5 to 70 C and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The 60 cc drain bowl and 98 cc oil bowl are both nylon, and the complete assembly weighs 1020 g.
The N in the code after the port indicates no gauge is supplied with this unit. If you need to read the set pressure, the 1/8" gauge connection on the GAFC300 body accepts a standard AirTAC gauge. This keeps the initial cost lower when a panel-mounted gauge is already present in your system.
