About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ASK
This AirTAC GAFC400N15ASK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator in one body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/2in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-size class, suited for machine headers or multi-station lines where a single point of air preparation is needed. Air is cleaned and set to pressure first, then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist last, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat.
The nylon bowl holds 100 cc of condensate and the separate oil bowl holds 185 cc, which sets the service rhythm for the unit. It operates in the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range with a 40 um element, and the circular gauge reads in MPa and psi. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, making it a practical choice for lines that run unattended between shifts.

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 GAFC400N15ASK Is Used
Machine tool coolant systems
Feed a 1/2in header on a CNC lathe or machining center, where the automatic drain handles condensate from wet shop air and the regulator holds pressure for coolant valves and actuators.
Assembly line pallet stops
Supply a multi-station assembly conveyor where pallet positioning cylinders cycle frequently. The 185 cc oil bowl keeps lubricator refills spaced out across a full shift.
Packaging machine air prep
Prepare air for a case packer or strapping machine with a 1/2in main line, where the 100 cc drain bowl and automatic drain reduce maintenance visits on a line that runs continuously.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400N15ASK when your line needs 1/2in ports and the 1810 g body class. The nylon bowl is a build choice; the common specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies across all bowl materials, so confirm nylon suits your surroundings. The A code specifies an automatic drain, which clears condensate on its own. The K code adds a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, which the catalogue draws as a separate pneumatic symbol. The PT thread carries a gauge scale in MPa and psi, matching the circular gauge that is fitted. The 40 um element is the standard grade; step to the 5 um W option if you need finer filtration. Spare parts are orderable as GAFR400-15 and GAL400-15, so a worn element or bowl does not force a full replacement. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan your inlet pressure accordingly if you need the full 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 GAFC400N15ASK FAQ
The GAFC400N15ASK is an F.R.L. combination with a 1/2in port, operating at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl holds 185 cc, with a total weight of 1810 g.
The K code means a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to the GAFC400N15ASK. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol in the circuit. It is an ordering difference to note when you select the unit; the valve is included as part of this configuration.
