About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15LNK
This is a two-piece F.R.L. combination from AirTAC: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted together on a T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/2in port and 1810 g weight place it in the mid-size GAFC400 class, suited to machine headers or multi-station lines. It regulates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and filters to 40 um.
The metal bowl is specified by the C code; the catalogue gives no material-specific temperature or impact data, so confirm it suits your environment. No gauge is supplied with this model, but the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for one. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and the two units are separately orderable as GAFR400-15 and GAL400-15.

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 GAFC400C15LNK Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Set a lathe's air chuck to a stable 0.3 MPa (43 psi) with the lower-pressure regulator, while the 40 um element keeps fine particles off the chuck jaws.
Multi-station assembly
Feed a four-station assembly cell at 0.35 MPa (51 psi) through the 1/2in ports, with the 185 cc oil bowl keeping slide valves lubricated across a full shift.
Machine header supply
Mount on a machine header feeding three actuators, using the 100 cc condensate bowl to collect moisture from a humid compressor line before it reaches the valves.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15LNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 body when you need 1/2in ports and a 100 cc condensate bowl with a 185 cc oil bowl; it steps down from the GAFC500's 108 cc bowl if space is tighter, or up from the GAFC300's 60 cc bowl for longer service intervals. The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if your machine may ever need more than that, select the standard S type instead. The semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop and the manual drain works on demand, while the metal bowl is a build choice only. The 40 um element is the standard grade, and the PT thread carries a gauge scale in MPa/psi if you add a gauge later. For oil-free lines, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the 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 GAFC400C15LNK FAQ
This lower-pressure unit works from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 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 oil. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge later if you need to read the set pressure. The PT thread carries a dual MPa-psi scale on any gauge you fit.
