Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ASJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ASJ 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ASJ
The GAFR50020ASJ is a filter and regulator combined in a single body, so incoming air is spun to separate liquid water and solid particles before a balanced regulator sets a steady outlet pressure. This 3/4in model works across 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 40 um element, with no lubricator and only one condensate bowl.
This 950 g unit is built for a machine header or multi-station line where a single point of filtration and pressure control is needed. The automatic drain clears the 108 cc bowl without manual attention, and the circular gauge with MPa/psi scale lets operators read the set pressure directly.

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 GAFR50020ASJ Is Used
Machine header supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic actuators on a production machine, with the automatic drain handling condensate from a busy line.
Multi-station assembly
Provide filtered, regulated air to several workstations from one central point, where the 108 cc bowl reduces how often the drain needs attention.
Process equipment skid
Mount on a process skid frame where the 950 g mass needs a proper bracket, and the 40 um element protects downstream valves from solid contamination.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020ASJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 body when your line needs a 3/4in port and a flow envelope plotted to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet; it sits above the GAFR400 (1/2in, 100 cc bowl) and below the GAFR600 (1in, 205 cc bowl). The PC bowl suits general shop air, while the automatic drain (A) handles wet or unattended lines, and the J code means no mounting bracket is included. The standard type (S) covers 0.15-0.9 MPa, the 40 um element is the default, and the PT thread gives an MPa/psi gauge scale. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 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 GAFR50020ASJ FAQ
The GAFR50020ASJ is a filter & regulator with a 3/4in port, working pressure 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), max pressure 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range -5 to 70 C, 108 cc drain bowl, and 950 g weight. It has a 40 um element, automatic drain, and a circular gauge with MPa/psi scale.
The J code means the mounting bracket is omitted from this model. This suits panel-mount installations or setups where an existing bracket is already in place. If you need the standard bracket, order the same model without the J suffix.
