About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASN
The GAFC40015ASN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body handles filtration and pressure setting, then a separate lubricator adds a controlled oil mist downstream. With a 1/2in port and a 1810 g mass, this unit suits medium-sized machine headers where a compact footprint matters.
It operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) using a 40 um element, and the automatic drain clears condensate without operator attention. The 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl define the service interval, and the missing gauge means the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for a field-installed indicator.

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 GAFC40015ASN Is Used
CNC coolant systems
Feed a consistent 0.6 MPa supply to a CNC machine's coolant valve manifold, where the automatic drain prevents water carryover into precision solenoids.
Assembly line pallet stops
Power a series of pneumatic pallet stops on an assembly conveyor, using the 185 cc oil bowl to lubricate multiple cylinders between maintenance rounds.
Packaging machine grippers
Supply filtered, regulated air to carton-erecting grippers, where the 40 um element protects small bore cylinders from particulate wear.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 for 3/8in to 1/2in lines where the GAFC300's 3500 L/min envelope feels tight; the GAFC400's curve plots to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, while the automatic drain is ideal for unattended stations. The standard pressure range covers most actuators, and the 40 um element balances protection with service life. Spares are the GAFR400-15 filter-regulator and GAL400-15 lubricator, both orderable separately. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range.
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 GAFC40015ASN FAQ
This F.R.L. combination works from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a panel-mount gauge if operators need to read the set pressure locally. The regulator still holds its setting without a gauge installed.
