Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALK is a genuine three-unit F.R.L. combination — a filter, a pressure regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/4" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALK
Supplying a precise 1/4in port, this AirTAC unit conditions line air through a filter, regulator and lubricator pre-plumbed on a single L-shape bracket. The lower-pressure type restricts the operating band to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), while a 40 um element extracts particulate before the lubricator introduces a controlled oil mist downstream of the regulation stage.
Weighing 750 g, the assembly integrates an automatic drain on its 25 cc condensate bowl to clear water without operator input. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread, and the catalogue lists the reverse-flow (reflux) valve as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page.

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 GAC20008ALK Is Used
Small Pneumatic Clamps
Feeds low-pressure actuation for delicate benchtop clamping jigs where a 1/4in port and 40 um filtration protect sensitive seals.
Lab Air Tools
Conditions supply for laboratory-scale air agitators or low-force pick-and-place probes requiring a steady 0.15-0.4 MPa output.
Textile Guiders
Regulates yarn-guiding cylinders that demand gentle pressure and oil-mist lubrication to prevent sticking in continuous motion.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this compact body for single actuators or small jigs, stepping up to the GAC300 if you need a 60 cc drain bowl or a flow envelope plotted to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet. The automatic drain suits unattended wet lines, and the fitted gauge lets operators verify the low-pressure setpoint directly. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, select a filter-regulator instead of this lubricated assembly. Spares follow the body-port suffix exactly: GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Because the L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, it provides only 44% of the Standard type's 0.9 MPa ceiling.
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 GAC20008ALK FAQ
This lower-pressure F.R.L. combination operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum 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 a temperature range of -5 to 70 C. The unit weighs 750 g and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this assembly. The official catalogue shows this valve as a separate pneumatic symbol with full details provided on its own dedicated page.
