Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SK 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 GAFR400C15SK
The GAFR400C15SK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is first spun to separate liquid water and solid particles, then regulated to a steady outlet pressure. This 1/2in port model with a metal bowl weighs 880 g and carries a 40 um element, with a working range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
Because the filter and regulator share one housing, this unit replaces a separate GAF filter plus GAR regulator, reducing the number of joints to seal and saving rail space. The balanced, self-locking regulator mechanism holds the set pressure steady as supply pressure varies, resisting drift from vibration.

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 GAFR400C15SK Is Used
Machine tool air preparation
Feed a precision machining center's pneumatic controls with clean, regulated air at 0.15-0.9 MPa, where the 40 um element and stable output protect sensitive valves.
Assembly line actuator supply
Supply a bank of pneumatic actuators on an assembly station, using the 100 cc metal bowl to collect condensate over a full shift before manual draining.
Test bench instrumentation
Provide a steady 0.15-0.9 MPa air supply to a test bench with multiple pressure-regulated branches, relying on the balanced regulator to hold setpoints.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C15SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
This GAFR400 body suits 3/8in to 1/2in lines and is rated for flows plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The metal bowl (C) is a build choice; the common 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating apply to all bowl materials, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The semi-auto drain plus manual drain are both fitted, giving you the option to drain manually or let the semi-auto function purge when pressure drops. The included mounting bracket supports the 880 g unit properly, and the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi on the PT thread. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached as an ordering difference, and the 40 um element is the standard grade. If you need lubrication downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan a supply near 1.0 MPa if you intend to run at the upper setpoint.
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.
