Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNK
The GAFR500N20SNK is a filter & regulator that combines air filtration and pressure regulation into a single 3/4in body. This 950 g unit replaces the need for separate filter and regulator components, reducing potential leak points and saving rail space. It features a nylon bowl and a 40 um element, with a semi-auto drain and a manual drain both fitted.
Its balanced, self-locking regulator maintains the outlet pressure as supply pressure fluctuates, while the diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 108 cc condensate bowl. The working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, and the unit must not freeze.

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 GAFR500N20SNK Is Used
Machine Header Supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic actuators on a production machine, providing filtered, regulated air at a stable pressure.
Conveyor System Regulation
Regulate air for conveyor belt tensioning devices and diverters, where consistent pressure prevents jams and ensures smooth operation.
Assembly Line Tooling
Supply clean, pressure-controlled air to pneumatic tools and fixtures on an assembly line, protecting sensitive valves from particulates and moisture.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR500 for 3/4in lines requiring clean, regulated air at flows plotted to 8000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The nylon bowl offers a build alternative to PC or metal, while the included mounting bracket suits panel or frame installation. This model has no gauge fitted, but the 1/4in gauge connection allows for later addition. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached as an ordering difference.
The semi-auto drain requires periodic manual attention, unlike an automatic drain option. If your downstream equipment needs lubrication, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead, as this unit does not lubricate. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan for a supply near 1.0 MPa if you need the full regulated output.
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 GAFR500N20SNK FAQ
The GAFR500N20SNK operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Its temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The unit has a 108 cc drain bowl and weighs 950 g.
The K code indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. This is an ordering difference from models without the valve. For detailed functional information, please refer to the official AirTAC catalogue.
