About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15SWK
This GAFC400C15SWK is an F.R.L. combination where the filter and regulator share one body, and a lubricator is joined on a T bracket. With a 1/2in port and a 1810 g mass, it sits in the mid-size class, needing a proper panel or frame mount rather than support from the tubing. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it a fit for circuits with precision valves or instrument air.
Air enters the first body, gets filtered and set to pressure, then the lubricator adds a controlled oil mist last. The metal bowl is specified by the C code, and the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies. The circular gauge is fitted, reading in MPa and psi for the PT thread. The reverse-flow valve is also fitted, as indicated by the K code.

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 GAFC400C15SWK Is Used
Precision Valve Control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a packaging line where the 5 um element filters fine particulates that could clog small orifices.
Machine Tool Lubrication
Supply a metered oil mist to a multi-spindle drilling head, where the 185 cc oil bowl supports longer runs between refills.
Test Rig Air Prep
Prepare air for a laboratory test bench with a 1/2in manifold, using the 100 cc condensate bowl to handle moisture from a wet compressor line.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C15SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400C15SWK when you need 1/2in ports and the 6000 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet. The metal bowl is a build choice; confirm it suits your surroundings, as the catalogue gives no material-specific data. The drain is the semi-auto and manual pair, so condensate dumps on pressure drop or on demand. The 5 um element means more frequent service than a 40 um grade, but it protects sensitive components. The gauge reads MPa and psi, matching the PT thread. Spares are the GAFR400-15 filter-regulator and the GAL400-15 lubricator, both orderable separately. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan the supply pressure accordingly.
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 GAFC400C15SWK FAQ
The 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). It operates from -5 to 70 C and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc, with a total weight of 1810 g.
The K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. It is shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue. The valve is part of the assembly as ordered, and its specific function is detailed on its own catalogue page.
