About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASW
This GAFC40015ASW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/2in port and 1810 g mass put it in the mid-range class, sized for a machine header or a multi-station line rather than a single actuator.
The filter stage uses a 5 um element to catch fine particles, and the regulator holds the set pressure from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, while the 185 cc oil bowl feeds the lubricator with ISO VG 32 oil. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa and 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 GAFC40015ASW Is Used
CNC coolant valves
Feed a 5 um filtered, regulated air supply to solenoid valves controlling coolant flow on a CNC lathe, where fine filtration protects valve seats.
Assembly line headers
Supply a 1/2in header on a multi-station assembly line, with the automatic drain handling condensate from humid compressor air.
Packaging machine cylinders
Run a bank of packaging machine cylinders from one regulated source, with the lubricator adding oil mist for consistent actuator cycling.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015ASW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC40015ASW when you need a 1/2in port with a 5 um element and automatic drain. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, but confirm it matches your environment since the catalogue lists no material-specific ratings. The standard type covers 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale. If you need a lower pressure range, the L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, but that is not available on this model. For oil-free lines, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR400-15 filter-regulator instead; the GAL400-15 lubricator is the separately orderable second unit. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan your 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 GAFC40015ASW FAQ
The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and 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 holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The 5 um filter element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, which protects precision valves but means the element will load faster. Plan for more frequent element checks or replacement compared to a 40 um unit, especially on dirty air supplies.
