Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020LJNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020LJNWK 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 5 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 GAFR50020LJNWK
The AirTAC GAFR50020LJNWK is a filter and regulator combined into one body, handling both filtration and pressure control for a 3/4in air line. This unit operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 5 um element to capture fine particles. It comes without a gauge, so the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for a separate pressure readout if needed.
This model includes a semi-auto drain plus a manual drain, both fitted for flexible condensate removal. The 108 cc bowl and 950 g weight place it in the mid-large size class, suitable for stationary mounting rather than line support. A reverse-flow valve is attached as an ordering option, and the pressed-in self-locking knob helps maintain 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 GAFR50020LJNWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a machine header, where the 5 um element protects fine internal passages and the lower pressure range suits delicate actuation.
Multi-station assembly line
Supply a multi-station assembly line with regulated air at 0.15-0.4 MPa, using the 108 cc bowl to handle condensate between scheduled drains.
Instrument air feed
Provide clean, low-pressure air to instruments or gauges, relying on the 5 um filtration and the semi-auto drain for periodic manual purging.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR50020LJNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 body for a 3/4in port with a 108 cc drain bowl and a flow curve plotted to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The lower-pressure type (L) caps the regulated range at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your system never needs more than that. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, but expect more frequent element service. No bracket is included (J), so plan for a panel mount or existing bracket. No gauge is supplied, leaving the 1/4in connection open for an add-on. The PC bowl and PT threads are standard defaults. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.6 MPa 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 GAFR50020LJNWK FAQ
The working pressure range is 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. The drain bowl holds 108 cc, and the unit weighs 950 g.
The N code after the port means no gauge is supplied, leaving a 1/4in gauge connection for adding one later. The J code means no mounting bracket is included, so you need a panel mount or an existing bracket. Both options reduce cost when these features are already available.
