The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASW 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic setups, this GAC20008ASW combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port serves compact duties, while the 5 um element catches fine particulates before they reach sensitive valves. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, so operators can verify the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) setting at a glance.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, with oil mist added last so the internal seat never fouls. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without an operator, a vital feature for unattended jigs. Weighing 750 g, the assembly is light enough for frame mounting, and the three units are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08 if a service part fails.

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 single small-bore cylinders in electronics pick-and-place machines, relying on the 5 um element to protect tiny precision valves.
Conditions air for individual pneumatic screwdrivers or small grinders in a workshop, using the automatic drain to handle intermittent moisture.
Supplies regulated, lubricated air to compact actuator stations on laboratory sample handlers without needing a massive plant compressor.
Choose this 1/4in body for single actuators where the 5 um element protects precision instrumentation. The PC bowl suits standard -5 to 70 C environments, but confirm compatibility for aggressive solvents. Because the lubricator injects oil downstream, select a separate filter-regulator if your line requires dry, unlubricated air. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC200 is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is about 29% of the GAC300's 3000 L/min envelope, making the smaller body ideal for low-demand tasks. Stepping up to the GAC600 yields a 6.8x larger drain bowl capacity (205 cc versus 25 cc), drastically cutting manual intervention on wet lines. Remember that max supply is 1.0 MPa and the Standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa, leaving only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the top setting.
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 standard type unit regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, features a 25 cc drain bowl and a 36 cc oil bowl, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, and weighs 750 g.
The 5 um filter traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it essential for sensitive instrumentation, though it requires more frequent element service. The automatic drain pairs well with this by emptying the 25 cc condensate bowl independently, ensuring unattended setups stay dry.
