Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SWK 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 5 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 GAFR40015SWK
The GAFR40015SWK is a filter and regulator combined into one 880 g body with a 1/2in port, replacing a separate filter plus regulator with fewer joints to seal. It spins incoming air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles, then delivers a steady outlet pressure within 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) using a balanced, self-locking regulator that resists drift from vibration.
This model ships with a 5 um element for finer filtration, a 100 cc condensate bowl, and both semi-auto and manual drains fitted. The circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is included, and the mounting bracket is part of the package. A reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted as an ordering difference, and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum pressure.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFC400-15 F.R.L. combination instead.

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 GAFR40015SWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machining center where the 5 um element protects fine internal orifices from particulate wear, while the balanced regulator keeps outlet pressure stable as shop supply fluctuates.
Machine tool header
Mount this 1/2in unit on a lathe or milling machine header to supply a consistent 0.15-0.9 MPa to cylinders and actuators, with the 100 cc bowl handling condensate from a moderately wet line.
Assembly station air
Use on an assembly bench feeding multiple hand tools and small actuators where the included bracket secures the 880 g body to a frame, and the semi-auto drain clears water without manual attention.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40015SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body when you need a 1/2in port and the 100 cc drain bowl that holds about 1.7x the condensate of the GAFR300's 60 cc bowl, meaning fewer drain interventions on a busy line. The PC bowl suits general shop air, while the 5 um element traps finer particles for sensitive valves or instruments, though it will need more frequent service than a 40 um unit. The semi-auto plus manual drain gives you both automatic dumping and a manual override, and the included bracket simplifies panel mounting. The PT thread carries the MPa/psi gauge scale, and the reflux valve is fitted per the K code. If your line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 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
- ✓ 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.
