About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SWK
This GAFC40015SWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/2in port and 1810 g weight place it in the mid-size class, suitable for machine headers or multi-station lines where a 3/8in unit would be undersized.
Air enters the first body where the 5 um element removes fine particles and the regulator sets pressure to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The lubricator then adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl define the service interval, and the circular gauge reads in 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 GAFC40015SWK Is Used
CNC coolant systems
Powers pneumatic valves controlling coolant flow on machining centers, where the 5 um element protects fine orifices from swarf contamination.
Assembly line headers
Feeds multiple air tools on a 1/2in distribution header, with the 100 cc bowl handling condensate from a busy production shift.
Carton erector machines
Supplies clean, regulated air to cylinders that fold and seal cartons, with the lubricator keeping moving parts cycling smoothly.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40015SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 for lines needing more flow than a GAFC300's 3500 L/min envelope; this body's curve is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, while the semi-auto drain dumps condensate on pressure drops and the manual drain works on demand. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, trading longer element life for better protection of precision valves. The fitted circular gauge shows MPa/psi, and the reverse-flow valve is included as an ordering option. For oil-free lines, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR400-15 filter-regulator instead; the GAL400-15 lubricator is separately orderable. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan inlet pressure carefully if you need the full regulated 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 GAFC40015SWK 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). Temperature rating is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The complete unit weighs 1810 g and uses a 1/2in PT thread.
The W code specifies a 5 um filter element, which captures finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it suitable for sensitive pneumatic instruments. The K code adds a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, shown as a separate symbol in the catalogue. Both options are factory-fitted and cannot be added later without ordering a different model.
