Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASK 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASK
This F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in one body before oil mist is added downstream. The 1/2in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-size class, suited to feeding a machine header or a multi-station line.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 40 um element filtering the supply. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl mean fewer visits to drain and refill, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the PT thread.

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 GAFC40015ASK Is Used
Machine tool coolant lines
Feed a 1/2in header on a CNC lathe or milling center, providing filtered, regulated air and a metered oil mist to slides and tool changers.
Assembly station manifolds
Supply a multi-station assembly bench where several pneumatic screwdrivers or presses draw from one common line, with the automatic drain reducing maintenance.
Packaging line air prep
Protect carton erectors and case sealers on a packaging line, delivering clean, lubricated air at a stable pressure to cylinders and actuators.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400 when a 1/2in port and the 6000 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet fit your line; step down to a GAFC300 for lighter duty or up to a GAFC500 for a 3/4in port. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the automatic drain suits unattended operation. The standard pressure type covers most actuators, and the 40 um element is the default; select the W option for 5 um filtration. The PT thread carries a MPa/psi gauge scale, and the K option adds a reverse-flow valve, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol. Spares are the GAFR400-15 filter-regulator and the GAL400-15 lubricator, both orderable separately. 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 the inlet pressure accordingly.
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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 1810 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 GAFR400-15 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASK FAQ
The working pressure range is 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 from -5 to 70 C and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The K code specifies a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted to the unit. The catalogue draws this as a separate pneumatic symbol, with details on its own page. It is an ordering difference to note when selecting the model.
