About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15SWK
This AirTAC F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body, then receives a metered oil mist last. The GAFC400N15SWK uses a 1/2in port and a 5 um element, with a working range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
The nylon bowl holds 100 cc of condensate and the oil bowl 185 cc, and the complete unit weighs 1810 g. A circular gauge is fitted with an MPa/psi scale for the PT thread, and the reverse-flow valve is included. The two-piece build means one less inter-unit joint to seal compared to a three-body train.

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 GAFC400N15SWK Is Used
Precision valve control
The 5 um element and regulated output suit a precision pneumatic valve on a CNC machine tool, where finer filtration protects sensitive spools and orifices.
Machine header supply
A 1/2in port and 1810 g mass fit a machine header feeding several actuators on a stamping press, with the 185 cc oil bowl supporting a full shift.
Multi-station assembly
On a multi-station assembly line, the 100 cc condensate bowl and 5 um element reduce maintenance stops, while the lubricator meters oil to downstream tools.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N15SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400 when a 1/2in port and a 1810 g mass suit a machine header or a multi-station line; the catalogue flow curve is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, useful for relative sizing against the GAFC300's 3500 L/min envelope. The nylon bowl is a build choice, but the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies, so confirm the material for your surroundings. The 5 um element traps finer particles for precision valves, at the cost of more frequent service. Both the semi-auto drain (dumps on pressure drop) and the manual drain are fitted. The circular gauge reads MPa/psi, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference. Spares are the GAFR400-15 filter & regulator and the GAL400-15 lubricator, both orderable separately. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is 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 GAFC400N15SWK FAQ
The working 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue draws it as a separate pneumatic symbol, with details on its own page. It is an ordering difference to note, not a function we specify.
