The AirTAC Airtac B52-GC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GC20008MC3W is a genuine G-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate filter, a separate regulator and a separate lubricator assembled as one air-preparation station. It has PT1/4" ports, a 5 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit air preparation combination: a separate filter, pressure regulator and lubricator that together clean, regulate and oil-mist lubricate compressed air. This GC20008MC3W is the 200 size with PT1/4 ports, fitted with the finer 5 um W-grade filter element, a manual drain on the filter bowl, an external round pressure gauge scaled in bar, and the standard regulator type with a 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) setting range.
It is a genuine AirTAC part rated for compressed air at up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) working pressure between -5 and 70 C (non-freezing). The GC range steps through 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with ports from 1/8 to 1 inch, and drain, filter grade, gauge and thread options to suit the installation. Because flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, we confirm the datasheet and sizing 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi). The combination has no separate bracket code — the three units couple together with their own mounting hardware. 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, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GF200-08 filter, GR200-08 regulator and GL200-08 lubricator.
A GC is three separate units, so the filter and the regulator can each be serviced or replaced on their own. A GFC is the two-unit set, where filtering and regulating share one body — shorter, but the two functions come as one part. Both filter, regulate and lubricate.

Feeding filtered, regulated and lubricated air to the tool-clamp and pallet-change circuits on a CNC machining center, where the 5 um element protects fine control valves and the manual drain is opened at shift checks.
Supplying pneumatic actuators on laboratory automation such as pipetting and plate-handling stations, with the 5 um grade specified and a bar-scaled round gauge for a clear setpoint readout.
Conditioning the air feed for quarter-turn pneumatic actuators on a process valve skid; the regulator holds the actuator supply at the set pressure and the lubricator conditions the cylinders.
Choose the size step first: the 200 body with 1/4 inch PT ports suits lighter branch lines, while 300, 400 and 600 sizes carry progressively more flow on larger ports - match the step to air demand rather than to port size alone. This version combines the manual drain (simple and low-cost, but it needs periodic attention where condensate is heavy; automatic and differential-pressure drains are the alternatives), the 5 um W-grade element for finer filtration, and an external round gauge scaled in bar - MPa (1) and psi (2) scales are the other catalogue choices. Threads are PT as standard, with G (BSPP) and NPT available as options, and a mounting bracket can be added. Flow is published as curves, not one rated number, so ask us to confirm sizing against your application before ordering.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any branch of the line must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator, or use a GR200-08 regulator with a GF200-08 filter on that branch.
Flow for the GC series is published as pressure-drop curves, not as a single rated figure, so there is no one number we can quote. Send us your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the correct size and the datasheet figures on request before you order.
The M in this code selects a manual drain, which you open periodically to remove collected condensate. The default differential-pressure drain works across the filter, and the A option gives fully automatic draining. Pick manual where bowl checks are already part of the routine.
