About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SNW
The GAFC40015SNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. Air is filtered and regulated in the first body, then the lubricator adds a controlled oil mist last, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat. This 1/2in port unit weighs 1810 g and uses a 5 um element for finer particle removal.
It operates in the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range, with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl set the service interval, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop while the manual drain works on demand. No gauge is supplied, but the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for one.

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 GAFC40015SNW Is Used
CNC Coolant Lines
Feed a 1/2in coolant manifold on a CNC lathe, where the 5 um element protects precision solenoid valves from fine swarf particles.
Assembly Station Air
Supply a multi-fixture assembly bench with regulated air for pneumatic screwdrivers, keeping the oil mist consistent for tool lubrication.
Packaging Machine Pneumatics
Run a case packer's cylinder bank from this unit, using the 185 cc oil bowl to reduce refill frequency during long production runs.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 for mid-size lines where 1/2in ports match your manifold and the 1810 g mass suits a panel mount. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it fits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, at the cost of more frequent element service. The semi-auto drain clears condensate on each pressure drop, with a manual backup for scheduled maintenance. No gauge is fitted, so add one to the 1/4in connection if you need to read set pressure. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi scale if you fit a gauge later. Spare parts are orderable as GAFR400-15 and GAL400-15. 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 carefully if you need the full output.
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 GAFC40015SNW FAQ
The GAFC40015SNW 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. It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures and needs ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g. It uses a 5 um element and has no gauge fitted.
The N in the code after the port means no gauge is supplied, which suits installations where the set pressure is checked at a remote panel. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a standard AirTAC gauge later if needed. The PT thread means any gauge you fit will read in MPa/psi.
