Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJ 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 GAFR400N15LJ
The GAFR400N15LJ is a genuine AirTAC filter and regulator combined into a single body, with no lubricator present. It handles a 1/2in port and delivers a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), filtering down to 40 um.
This unit features a nylon bowl and comes without a mounting bracket, saving rail space in tight panels. Its balanced regulator mechanism holds the outlet steady as supply pressure varies, and the diversion structure spins air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 100 cc drain bowl.

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 GAFR400N15LJ Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Set a stable 0.15-0.4 MPa output for a sensitive pneumatic gripper or a small indexing table, where lower pressure protects delicate workpieces.
Compact machine build
Mount this bracket-less unit directly to a panel on a benchtop assembly station, saving space while filtering and regulating air for a single actuator.
Low-pressure test rig
Feed a leak-test fixture with clean, regulated air at up to 0.4 MPa, using the 40 um element to keep fine particles out of the test circuit.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body for a 1/2in port with a 100 cc drain bowl, stepping down from the GAFR500's 108 cc or up from the GAFR300's 60 cc. The nylon bowl suits build preferences; the semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted for flexible servicing. The L-type lower pressure range tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your machine never needs more. This model omits the bracket (J) for panel mounting, keeps the circular gauge with MPa/psi scale, and uses a 40 um element. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC400-15 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom 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 GAFR400N15LJ FAQ
The GAFR400N15LJ works with air, has a 1/2in port, and a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and weighs 880 g.
The L code sets the regulated output to 0.15-0.4 MPa for applications that need low, stable pressure. The J code omits the mounting bracket for direct panel mounting or use with existing hardware, saving space in compact builds.
