Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SJNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SJNW 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 GAFR400N15SJNW
The GAFR400N15SJNW is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. It accepts 1/2" air lines and delivers a regulated output of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), cleaning the air with a 5 um element before regulation.
This 880 g unit uses a nylon bowl that collects condensate and solid particles separated by its internal diversion structure. The balanced regulator mechanism holds the set pressure steady as supply varies, while the pressed-in self-locking knob resists drift from vibration.

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.

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 GAFR400N15SJNW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves that require cleaner air than standard shop supply. The 5 um element removes fine particulates that could clog small orifices, while the regulator keeps the header pressure stable.
Machine tool actuation
Supply a medium-sized machining center's clamping fixtures and tool changers. The 1/2" port and 100 cc bowl handle the duty cycle, and the semi-auto drain lets operators purge condensate during shift changes.
Test bench air supply
Provide clean, regulated air to a laboratory test bench with multiple manual stations. The nylon bowl resists handling in a busy environment, and the 5 um element protects sensitive test instrumentation from contamination.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400N15SJNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 for 1/2" lines where a 100 cc drain bowl and 7000 L/min flow envelope (plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet) suit medium-sized machinery. The nylon bowl offers a build alternative to standard PC, while the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um for sensitive equipment. This model ships without the mounting bracket (J) and without a gauge (N), so plan for panel mounting and add a gauge to the 1/4" connection if you need to read outlet pressure. The semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted, and PT threads with an MPa/psi gauge scale apply. For lines needing lubrication downstream, order the GAFC400-15 combination instead. A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 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 GAFR400N15SJNW FAQ
The GAFR400N15SJNW is a filter & regulator with a 1/2" port, working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g. The unit uses a 5 um filter element and has a nylon bowl with semi-auto and manual drains.
The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted, and the N code means no gauge is supplied. This suits installations where the unit mounts to an existing panel or frame, and where pressure is monitored by a separate line gauge. The gauge connection is 1/4" if you add one later.
