About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SW
This AirTAC GAFC40015SW 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 place it in the mid-size class, suited to machine headers feeding several actuators rather than a single small cylinder.
The filter stage uses a 5 um element to catch fine particles, while the regulator sets pressure across 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl define the service interval, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop while the manual drain works on demand.

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 GAFC40015SW Is Used
Precision valve manifolds
Feed a 1/2in manifold driving multiple pneumatic valves on a CNC machine, where the 5 um element protects fine spools and orifices from particle wear.
Assembly station headers
Supply a multi-station assembly line header that powers several tightening tools and clamps, with the 185 cc oil bowl reducing refill frequency during long shifts.
Packaging line actuators
Run a bank of packaging machine cylinders and grippers from one regulated source, using the semi-auto drain to clear condensate on each cycle stop.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 body when a 1/2in port and a 6000 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet match your line demand; step down to the GAFC300 for lighter duty or up to the GAFC500 for a 3/4in port. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the 5 um element trades finer filtration for more frequent service than the 40 um option. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale, and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair suits attended stations. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR400-15 filter-regulator instead; otherwise the GAL400-15 lubricator is the matching spare. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan 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 GAFC40015SW FAQ
It operates on air from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it must not freeze. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The complete unit weighs 1810 g.
The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, which is useful for precision valves and instrument air. The trade-off is that the element will load faster and need more frequent replacement, so factor that into your maintenance schedule.
