Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LNW 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 GAFR500N20LNW
The GAFR500N20LNW is a filter and pressure regulator combined into a single body, handling 3/4in ports and weighing 950 g. It spins incoming air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles, then delivers a steady outlet pressure through a balanced, self-locking regulator mechanism.
This lower-pressure version regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and comes with a 5 um element for finer filtration. The nylon bowl holds 108 cc of condensate, and the unit includes both semi-auto and manual drains for flexible maintenance.

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.

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 GAFR500N20LNW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves that require clean, lower-pressure air at 0.15-0.4 MPa. The 5 um element protects sensitive internals from fine particulates.
Conveyor tensioning
Maintain a stable lower pressure for conveyor belt tensioning cylinders. The balanced regulator holds the setpoint as line supply fluctuates, and the 108 cc bowl reduces drain frequency.
Machine tool circuits
Supply filtered air to machine tool clamping circuits that operate below 0.4 MPa. The 3/4in port supports adequate flow for multiple actuators on a small header.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20LNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 body for 3/4in piping that needs a 108 cc condensate bowl and a flow curve plotted to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The nylon bowl offers a build alternative to PC or metal, while the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade. This L-type unit tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your system never needs more than that regulated output. The mounting bracket is included, and no gauge is fitted - the 1/4in gauge connection is ready if you add one later. For lines requiring oil downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of this unit's 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 GAFR500N20LNW FAQ
This filter & regulator has a 3/4in port, a working 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 and must not freeze. The nylon drain bowl holds 108 cc, and the unit weighs 950 g.
The L code designates a lower-pressure regulator, capping the outlet at 0.4 MPa instead of the standard 0.9 MPa. This suits applications needing gentle, stable pressure, but it cannot deliver higher outputs. If your process may require more than 0.4 MPa, the standard S-type GAFR500 is the correct choice.
