Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJNK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJNK 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 GAFR400N15LJNK
The GAFR400N15LJNK is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, saving rail space and reducing potential leak points compared to separate units. It handles a 1/2in port with a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 40 um element.
This model features a nylon bowl and includes both semi-auto and manual drains. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and no gauge or mounting bracket is supplied. Weighing 880 g, it suits applications needing a compact, integrated air preparation solution without lubrication.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFR400 is 1/4" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

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 GAFR400N15LJNK Is Used
Precision Fixturing
Ideal for clamping fixtures on machining centers where a stable, lower pressure is required to avoid damaging delicate workpieces.
Test Rigs
Suitable for pneumatic test benches that need a regulated, filtered air supply at pressures below 0.4 MPa for consistent results.
Assembly Stations
Works well at manual assembly stations powering small tools or actuators where space is limited and a lower pressure setting is preferred.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15LJNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body for 1/2in port applications needing up to 7000 L/min flow (plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet). The nylon bowl offers an alternative to PC or metal, while the semi-auto+manual drain requires periodic attention. The lower pressure type (L) caps output at 0.4 MPa, so verify your system never needs more. No bracket is included (J), and the absence of a gauge (N) means you must add one via the 1/4in connection to monitor pressure. The 40 um element handles standard filtration, and the PT thread suits typical installations. If lubrication is needed downstream, order the GAFC400-15 combination instead. 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 GAFR400N15LJNK FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 1/2in port, a pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g.
The 'K' indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this unit. It is an ordering difference from models without this feature. For details on its function, please refer to the official AirTAC datasheet.
