Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SJNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SJNWK 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 GAFR500N20SJNWK
The GAFR500N20SJNWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate GAF and GAR units. This 3/4in version handles 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element to trap fine particles.
A nylon bowl holds 108 cc of condensate, and the unit weighs 950 g, indicating a substantial frame mount is required. The balanced regulator maintains set pressure despite supply variations, while the pressed-in knob resists drift from 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 GAFR500N20SJNWK Is Used
Machine Header Feed
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic stations on a production line, where the 8000 L/min envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet supports simultaneous actuator cycles.
Instrument Air Prep
Use the 5 um element to protect precision valves or sensors downstream, ensuring fine particles are trapped before they reach sensitive components.
Panel-Mounted Regulation
Mount this 950 g unit on a sturdy frame or panel using existing holes, since no bracket is supplied, and regulate pressure for a dedicated pneumatic zone.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SJNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR500 when you need 3/4in ports and a 950 g body that suits a machine header or multi-station line. The nylon bowl offers a build alternative to PC or metal, though all share the same 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating. This model ships without a bracket (J) and without a gauge (N), so plan for panel mounting and add a 1/4in gauge if readout is needed. The 5 um element (W) filters finer than standard 40 um, but expect more frequent service. A semi-auto plus manual drain is fitted, and the reverse-flow (reflux) valve (K) is included as an ordering difference. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply 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 GAFR500N20SJNWK FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 108 cc and the unit weighs 950 g.
The J code omits the mounting bracket for panel-mount installations, and the N code means no gauge is supplied. The gauge connection is 1/4in if you add one later. This reduces cost when existing infrastructure provides both.
