Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ALNK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ALNK 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 3/4" 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 GAFR50020ALNK
The GAFR50020ALNK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is spun to separate water and solids before a balanced regulator sets a steady outlet pressure. This 3/4in unit covers a lower 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) band with a 40 um element, and it carries an automatic drain plus a reverse-flow valve.
Weighing 950 g, this GAFR500 body needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than support from the tubing. Its 108 cc condensate bowl is the service driver, and the pressed-in self-locking knob helps hold the set pressure against 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 GAFR500 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 GAFC500-20 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 GAFR50020ALNK Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving several pneumatic stations on a production line, where the lower pressure band protects sensitive actuators and the automatic drain handles condensate without manual checks.
Low-pressure instrument loop
Supply a 0.15-0.4 MPa loop for precision valves or gauging fixtures, relying on the balanced regulator to hold the setpoint as upstream pressure varies.
Multi-zone conveyor control
Regulate air for a multi-zone conveyor system where each zone needs a stable low pressure, with the 108 cc bowl reducing drain frequency across a shift.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ALNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR500 if your line needs 3/4in ports and a lower 0.15-0.4 MPa regulated band; the L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if the machine may ever need more, pick the standard S version instead. The automatic drain suits unattended or wet lines, the PC bowl is the standard build, and the included bracket simplifies mounting; the 40 um element is the default grade. The K code adds the reverse-flow valve as an ordering difference, and the PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale, though this unit ships without a gauge - its 1/4in connection is ready for one. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination rather than expecting this unit to lubricate. 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 (3/4" 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 108 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 950 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 GAFC500-20 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ALNK FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 3/4in port, a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 108 cc drain bowl, and weighs 950 g. The element is 40 um, the drain is automatic, and a reverse-flow valve is fitted.
The K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to this unit. It is an ordering difference shown as a separate pneumatic symbol; the catalogue defers its function to another page. This model also has an automatic drain and no gauge, so the 1/4in gauge connection is capped unless you add one.
