Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJWK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJWK
The GAFR500C20ASJWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. This 3/4in port model operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element to trap fine particles.
The metal bowl holds 108 cc of condensate, and the automatic drain clears it without manual attention. The circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted, and 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. The fitted circular gauge reads in MPa / psi, set by the PT thread code. 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 GAFR500C20ASJWK Is Used
Machine tool circuits
Feed a 3/4in header supplying air to multiple actuators on a CNC machine. The 5 um element protects precision valves from fine abrasive dust.
Assembly line stations
Supply a multi-station assembly line where consistent pressure is needed for pneumatic tools. The automatic drain keeps the line running through wet shifts.
Test benches
Power a test bench that requires clean, regulated air for gauging fixtures. The 108 cc bowl handles heavy condensate loads between checks.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
This GAFR500 is the 3/4in size class, weighing 950 g, so it needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The metal bowl (C) suits demanding environments, while the automatic drain (A) handles unattended or wet lines. The 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, at the cost of more frequent service. The J code means no bracket is included, and the K code adds a reverse-flow valve. 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 GAFR500C20ASJWK FAQ
Working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 108 cc and the unit weighs 950 g.
The K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. This is an ordering difference from the standard GAFR500; the valve is drawn as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.
