Airtac GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K
The AirTAC GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K is a genuine G-series filter regulator: water separation, 40 µm particulate filtration and balanced-type pressure regulation combined in a single body. It has See datasheet ports, a differential-pressure drain and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It does not lubricate — add a GL lubricator, or order the GFC two-unit set, if downstream equipment needs oil.

About the Airtac GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K
GFR is AirTAC's filter regulator family: filtration and pressure regulation combined in one body, with a drain bowl and no lubricator. This GFR400C15AC1K is the 400 size with a 1/2 in PT port (PT is the standard thread; G and NPT are catalogue options), an automatic drain, the standard 40 um element and an external round pressure gauge scaled in MPa. The K suffix specifies that a reverse/check valve is fitted, which passes flow in one direction and blocks reverse flow through the unit. With the automatic drain, the setting range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi); maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
This is a genuine AirTAC part, rated -5 to 70 C (non-freezing), with the 400 size bowl in polycarbonate (PC). The G-series runs from size 200 to 600, with automatic, manual or differential-pressure drains, 40 um or 5 um (W) elements, embedded square or external round gauges, and the check valve as an option. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so we confirm datasheet and sizing figures on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). Air must not freeze in the unit. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.

Field order is size, port, drain, type, bracket, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — a blank position takes the default. Example: GFR300-08 is a 300 body, PT1/4", differential drain, standard type, bracket included, gauge fitted, 40 µm, PT thread, no reflux valve.

A larger body carries a larger port and holds set pressure better as flow rises. AirTAC publishes flow only as curves, so size the body from your peak demand with headroom. The GFR600 uses an aluminium-alloy bowl; the 200, 300 and 400 bodies use PC.

Where the Airtac GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K Is Used
Robot gripper circuit on an assembly cell
Filters and regulates the air to a robot gripper array on an assembly cell, with the fitted check valve blocking reverse flow back toward the supply.
Workshop air drop for pneumatic hand tools
Mounted at a maintenance workshop air drop feeding impact wrenches and ratchets; the 1/2 in port matches the main drop and the MPa gauge reads the set pressure.
Clamping fixture supply on a machining centre
Regulates air to clamping fixtures on a machining centre, with the check valve in the code preventing reverse flow through the unit toward the header.
Is the Airtac GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K the Right Unit?
Choose the 400 size with its 1/2 in port for circuits stepping up from the 300 (3/8 in) frame, or step to the 600 (3/4 in and 1 in) frames for larger demand. The drain here is automatic; manual and differential-pressure drains are available on the same series. The element is the standard 40 um grade and the gauge is the external round type in MPa, with square gauges and psi or bar scales as options. The K suffix fits the reverse/check valve - if you do not need it, the plain GFR400C15AC1 is the same regulator without it. PT is the standard thread, with G (BSPP) and NPT orderable as catalogue options, and a mounting bracket is included as standard (J variants omit it). Flow is published as curves, not a single rating, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (See datasheet here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain sets the regulating band
- ✓ Gauge fitted, shape and scale
- ✓ Thread PT, G (BSPP) or NPT
- ✓ Oil needed downstream? Use GFC instead
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mount vertically, bowl down, following the airflow arrow.
- check One body does the filtering and the regulating — no separate regulator needed.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Adjust only within 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
The PC bowl must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe it with a dry cloth. Without the K option, air cannot flow back through the unit. A filter regulator adds no oil to the line.
Airtac GFR Filter Regulator GFR400C15AC1K FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the GFR series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so there is no single number to quote. Share your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the flow from the datasheet on request before you order.
K specifies that a reverse/check valve is fitted, which allows flow in one direction and blocks reverse flow through the unit. The same filter regulator without the check valve is ordered as GFR400C15AC1.
