About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008AL
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for light-duty pneumatics, this AirTAC combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in ported body is designed for 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) lower-pressure operation, utilizing a 40 um element to capture solid contaminants. An automatic drain is fitted to the 25 cc condensate bowl, clearing trapped water without an operator.
Air flows through the filter, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. Weighing 750 g, the assembly includes a circular gauge scaled in MPa/psi for the default PT thread, allowing operators to monitor the set pressure directly. The 36 cc oil bowl dictates the lubricant top-up interval for downstream moving parts.

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 GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008AL Is Used
Low-Force Assembly Jigs
Feeds single-acting actuators and small grippers on benchtop jigs where a 0.4 MPa ceiling protects delicate components from overclamping.
Laboratory Pneumatics
Conditions air for low-pressure test fixtures, utilizing the automatic drain to keep the 25 cc bowl empty during unattended overnight testing.
Textile Handling Tools
Supplies a steady, lubricated air supply to small air motors in textile machinery operating safely below the 0.4 MPa threshold.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008AL the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this lower-pressure type for machines requiring a maximum 0.4 MPa output, and select a standard type if your equipment might ever need more. The 25 cc drain bowl is small, so for wetter lines stepping up to the GAC300 body with its 60 cc capacity reduces intervention. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. The three units are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Note that the 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa maximum, clearly bounding the application pressure.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" 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
- ✓ Thread & gauge scale (PT / G / NPT)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter first, lubricator last.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Fill the oil bowl with ISO VG 32 or equivalent only.
- check Drain condensate before the 25 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 750 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any part of the line must stay oil-free, use a filter-regulator instead of an F.R.L. combination on that branch.
Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008AL FAQ
This lower-pressure unit operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It features a 1/4in port, a 25 cc drain bowl, a 36 cc oil bowl, a 40 um element, and weighs 750 g. The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The A in the model code denotes an automatic drain fitted to the PC bowl. It automatically expels condensate from the 25 cc sump as it accumulates, which is ideal for unattended stations or applications where manual draining on every pressure drop is impractical.
