The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ALNW 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for compact pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC20008ALNW combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port serves the 750 g body, while the 5 um element captures fine particles for sensitive downstream valves. Because the lower-pressure type tops out at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), it targets low-force actuators rather than general plant air.
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without an operator, which is decisive for unattended single-cylinder jigs. No gauge is supplied, but the body features a 1/8in gauge connection if you need to add one to read the set pressure. The 36 cc oil bowl feeds an ISO VG 32 mist downstream of the regulator seat, keeping the internal mechanism clean.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAC catalogue (pages 216-217). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAC200 is 1/8" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF200-08 filter, GAR200-08 regulator, GAL200-08 lubricator — all three share this body and port.
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.

Feeds delicate pneumatic grippers on electronics assembly jigs where a 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents actuator damage.
Conditions air for small lab-scale spinting tools requiring 5 um particulate capture and steady low pressure.
Supplies isolated low-force clamping cylinders with automatic condensate drainage for unattended weekend runs.
Choose this 1/4in unit when a low-pressure circuit demands fine 5 um filtration and unattended condensate removal. If the machine ever needs more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is the wrong part, so select a standard S type instead. Because no gauge is included, you must add one to the 1/8in port to verify settings. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator. Should the element clog or bowl crack, order the GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 spares. Stepping up to the GAC300 doubles the flow envelope to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but note that the 0.4 MPa L-type ceiling is 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa maximum.
Quick checklist
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.
This lower-pressure unit regulates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C, weighs 750 g, and uses a 25 cc drain bowl with a 36 cc oil bowl. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The N in the code means no gauge is supplied, so the set pressure cannot be read without adding one. The body features a 1/8in gauge connection for installing a PT-threaded gauge with an MPa/psi scale later.
