Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 1/2" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ
The GAFR40015ALJ is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, saving rail space and reducing potential leak points compared to separate units. It handles a 1/2in port and weighs 880 g, placing it in the mid-range size class for machine-level air preparation.
This model operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and comes with a 40 um element. Its 100 cc condensate bowl and automatic drain make it suitable for applications where regular manual draining is impractical.

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 GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ Is Used
Precision Fixturing
Feed a precise pressure to pneumatic clamps on a machining fixture, where the lower range prevents over-clamping delicate parts.
Lab Air Supply
Provide a stable, lower-pressure air supply for laboratory equipment that requires a gentle and consistent flow.
Light Packaging Lines
Regulate air for light-duty packaging machinery that operates with sensitive actuators and needs a clean, dry air source.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 for applications needing a 1/2in port and a 100 cc drain bowl. The automatic drain (A) handles condensate without manual intervention, ideal for wet or unattended lines. This version omits the mounting bracket (J), so plan for panel mounting or an existing bracket. The lower pressure type (L) tops out at 0.4 MPa, so verify your system never needs more. The 40 um element is standard; upgrade to 5 um (W) for finer filtration. The PT thread comes with an MPa/psi gauge scale. For lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above this unit's 0.4 MPa regulated ceiling.
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
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 880 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC400-15 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015ALJ FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 1/2in port, a pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g.
The 'A' code specifies an automatic drain, which expels condensate without manual action, suitable for hard-to-reach or continuously operating equipment. The 'J' code omits the mounting bracket, meaning you'll need to use a panel mount or an existing bracket for installation.
