Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ALNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ALNWK is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/2" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ALNWK
This AirTAC GAFC400N15ALNWK is an F.R.L. combination that pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-shape bracket, reducing the piece count to two where a conventional train would need three. The 1/2in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-range size class, a unit that needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than support from the tubing.
The lower-pressure regulator is set for 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with the 5 um element trapping fine particles for sensitive equipment. The nylon bowl holds 100 cc of condensate while the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. Since no gauge is fitted, the gauge connection is 1/4in if you add one 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 GAFC400N15ALNWK Is Used
Precision machining center
Feed a 1/2in line to a CNC machining center's tool changer, where the 5 um element protects precision valves and the lower pressure range suits sensitive actuators.
Assembly station
Supply a multi-fixture assembly station with regulated air at 0.15-0.4 MPa, where the automatic drain keeps the line clear during long production runs.
Test bench
Use on a pneumatic test bench with delicate instrumentation, where the 5 um filtration and lower pressure ceiling prevent over-pressurizing components.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ALNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400N15ALNWK when your line needs 1/2in ports and a regulated output capped at 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). The nylon bowl is a build choice, but confirm it suits your environment since the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The automatic drain suits unattended operation, while the 5 um element catches finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, though it will need more frequent service. The PT thread and its MPa/psi gauge scale match standard local fittings, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference. Spares are orderable separately as the GAFR400-15 filter-regulator and the GAL400-15 lubricator. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the 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 GAFC400N15ALNWK FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates at 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied with this unit. The gauge connection is 1/4in if you need to add one later. The N before the port code indicates the bowl is made of nylon, which is a material choice you should confirm suits your operating environment.
