Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LN 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 GAFR500N20LN
The GAFR500N20LN is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, so it cleans incoming air and stabilizes outlet pressure without needing separate components. This unit uses a 3/4in port, a 40 um element, and a nylon condensate bowl with both semi-auto and manual drains fitted.
Its lower-pressure regulator is set for 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and the 950 g body with a 108 cc drain bowl suits it for medium-flow lines where space is tight. The diversion structure spins air to drop liquid water and solid particles into the bowl, keeping downstream equipment protected.

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 GAFR500N20LN Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Use the lower 0.15-0.4 MPa band to feed a sensitive pneumatic gauge or a light clamping circuit that must not see higher pressures.
Medium-flow machine line
The 3/4in port and 108 cc bowl handle a modest multi-station fixture where frequent draining is acceptable with the manual option.
Space-saving retrofit
Replace a separate filter and regulator pair with this single body to reduce joints and rail width on an existing panel.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR500 when you need a 3/4in port with a lower 0.4 MPa ceiling for delicate circuits. The nylon bowl is a build choice with the same 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating as PC or metal versions, so confirm compatibility for your environment. Both semi-auto and manual drains are included, and the bracket comes with the unit; the no-gauge configuration leaves a 1/4in connection if you add one later. If the line needs oil downstream, order the GAFC500-20 combination instead of 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 regulated 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 GAFR500N20LN FAQ
It is a filter & regulator with a 3/4in port, 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) working range, 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max pressure, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and -5 to 70 C temperature range. The nylon drain bowl holds 108 cc, the unit weighs 950 g, and it uses a 40 um element with semi-auto and manual drains.
The N after the port means no gauge is supplied; the 1/4in gauge connection is there if you add one. The L type limits regulation to 0.15-0.4 MPa, so it suits low-pressure circuits but cannot deliver above 0.4 MPa, unlike the standard 0.9 MPa version.
