Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJ 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 GAFR400C15ALJ
The GAFR400C15ALJ is a filter & regulator with both functions in one body: it spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles, then delivers a steady outlet pressure through a balanced, self-locking regulator. This 1/2in unit carries a metal bowl and a 100 cc condensate chamber, weighing 880 g.
Its lower-pressure type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 40 um element for standard filtration. The automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention, and the circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted. No lubricator is present; if oil is needed downstream, the matching GAFC400-15 combination adds that function.

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 GAFR400C15ALJ Is Used
Precision pressure control
Feed a calibrated pneumatic press or a precision clamping fixture that requires a stable, lower regulated pressure. The balanced regulator holds the setpoint as supply varies, and the 40 um element protects sensitive valves downstream.
Machine tool coolant lines
Supply a consistent 0.15-0.4 MPa to coolant misters or air blow-off nozzles on a machining center. The automatic drain handles condensate from wet shop air, and the metal bowl suits demanding plant environments.
Test bench air supply
Use in a lab or quality bench where a clean, regulated air source at lower pressure is needed for leak testing or calibration. The 100 cc bowl reduces drain frequency, and the gauge gives a clear local readout.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 when you need a 1/2in port with a 100 cc metal bowl and automatic drain. The lower-pressure type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your system never requires more than that. The J code means no mounting bracket is included, and the PT thread brings an MPa/psi gauge scale. For finer filtration, select the W option for a 5 um element. If the line needs lubrication, order the GAFC400-15 combination instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the 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.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15ALJ FAQ
Working pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 880 g. It has a 1/2in port, 40 um element, metal bowl, and automatic drain.
The L code sets the regulated range to 0.15-0.4 MPa, suitable for applications needing a lower, stable pressure. The J code omits the mounting bracket, so you must provide your own panel mount or existing bracket. The automatic drain (A) clears condensate without manual intervention.
