About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15ALN
This GAFC400C15ALN 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 for feeding a multi-station machine header rather than a single small cylinder.
The lower-pressure regulator is set for 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 40 um element filtering the air before it reaches the lubricator. The metal bowl is specified by the C code, and the automatic drain clears condensate without an operator. No gauge is supplied; the 1/4in gauge connection is available if a pressure readout is added later.

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 GAFC400C15ALN Is Used
Multi-Station Assembly Line
Feed a pneumatic manifold that powers several workstations on an assembly line, where each station needs filtered, regulated air at a consistent lower pressure.
Precision Torque Tool
Supply a multi-spindle nutrunner that requires a stable 0.3 MPa supply to control fastening torque, with the automatic drain handling condensate from the compressor.
Packaging Film Tensioning
Maintain a gentle, regulated air pressure for a film tensioning roller on a packaging machine, where the lower pressure range prevents over-stretching the material.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15ALN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400C15ALN when your line needs 1/2in ports and a regulated output capped at 0.4 MPa. The L type is the lower-pressure variant, so if the machine may ever require more than 0.4 MPa, step up to the standard S type instead. The metal bowl is a build choice, but the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies regardless; confirm the material suits your surroundings. The automatic drain is fitted, so no manual draining is needed. The 40 um element is the standard grade, and the PT thread carries a gauge scale of MPa/psi if a gauge is added. The two units are orderable separately as GAFR400-15 and GAL400-15. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of this unit's regulated 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 GAFC400C15ALN FAQ
The GAFC400C15ALN operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It is rated for -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The unit has a 100 cc condensate bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1810 g.
The C code specifies a metal bowl, which is a build choice; the catalogue does not provide material-specific performance data, so confirm it suits your environment. The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied, but the 1/4in gauge connection is present if you need to add one.
