Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SK
This AirTAC GAFR40015SK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate components. It handles a 1/2in port with a 40 um element, and the integrated circular gauge shows the outlet pressure on an MPa/psi scale.
The unit operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and weighs 880 g, placing it in the mid-size class for machine headers. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 100 cc condensate bowl, while the balanced regulator keeps the set pressure stable as supply varies.

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 GAFR40015SK Is Used
Machine tool circuits
Feed a single machining center's pneumatic controls with steady pressure, using the 40 um element to protect precision valves from particulates.
Assembly line stations
Mount this unit at a robotic workcell to filter and regulate air for multiple actuators, with the 100 cc bowl reducing drain frequency during shifts.
Test benches
Supply a consistent 0.15-0.9 MPa to pneumatic test fixtures, relying on the balanced regulator to hold the setpoint as shop air pressure fluctuates.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body for a 1/2in port and a 100 cc drain bowl, stepping up from the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl when you need longer intervals between draining. The PC bowl suits general-purpose lines, and the included bracket eases panel mounting. This model has the standard pressure range, a 40 um element, and a semi-auto drain plus manual drain for flexible operation. The PT thread means the gauge reads in MPa/psi, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference. If you need oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan your inlet 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
- ✓ 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 GAFR40015SK FAQ
The GAFR40015SK has a 1/2in port, a pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 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 K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this unit. It is an ordering difference from models without it; the catalogue does not specify its function in our data, so confirm the operational details from the full datasheet.
