Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNWK 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 GAFR500N20SNWK
The GAFR500N20SNWK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate components. It handles a 3/4in port with a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um filter element for fine particle removal.
This 950 g unit features a nylon bowl and comes with both semi-auto and manual drains. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists vibration drift, maintaining your set pressure. A reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference, and the mounting bracket is included.

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 GAFR500N20SNWK Is Used
Machine Header Supply
Feed a 3/4in header serving multiple pneumatic actuators on a single machine. The 5 um element protects sensitive valves, while the 108 cc bowl reduces drain frequency during a shift.
Conveyor Line Regulation
Stabilize air pressure for a conveyor system's tensioning and stop gates. The self-locking knob holds its setpoint despite line vibration, and the included bracket simplifies panel mounting.
Multi-Station Assembly
Provide filtered, regulated air to a multi-station assembly cell with several tools. The single-body design saves rail space, and the semi-auto drain allows quick manual purging between cycles.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500N20SNWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 for 3/4in lines where a 950 g body with a 108 cc condensate bowl balances capacity with a compact footprint. The nylon bowl is a build choice; the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, though it will need more frequent service. This model ships with the mounting bracket, a semi-auto plus manual drain, and no gauge, so plan to add one using the 1/4in gauge connection if you need to read outlet pressure. The PT thread matches the MPa/psi gauge scale. If your line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination instead. 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 GAFR500N20SNWK FAQ
This filter & regulator has a pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 108 cc drain bowl, and weighs 950 g.
The 'K' indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. It is an ordering difference from models without it. The catalogue does not detail its function in our data, so please consult the full AirTAC documentation for operational specifics.
