Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASWK 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).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for a single actuator or small jig, this AirTAC GAC20008ASWK F.R.L. combination pre-plumbs a filter, regulator and lubricator on one L-shape bracket. The 1/4in port and 750 g mass place it firmly in the compact size class, while the 5 um element traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, trading off more frequent element service for superior protection of precision valves. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, and a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue shows as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page.
Air passes through the filter, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the oil never fouls the regulator seat. The standard type regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and a circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread. If a line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead, as this unit actively adds oil mist downstream.

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 GAC20008ASWK Is Used
Micro-Assembly Jigs
Feeds single-actuator pick-and-place heads where the 5 um element protects tiny precision valves from grit.
Laboratory Pneumatics
Conditions air for benchtop test fixtures, using the automatic drain to handle condensate without an operator present.
Small Air Tools
Supplies metered oil mist to compact air grinders or screwdrivers, extending tool life on light-duty workstations.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC20008ASWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 1/4in PC bowl model for unattended or wet lines where the automatic drain prevents condensate build-up in the 25 cc bowl, and the 5 um element safeguards sensitive instruments. The quick mounting clamps eliminate inter-unit tubing, meaning the install is a single bracket with no leak paths. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, do not pick the L type; this standard S type provides the full 0.15-0.9 MPa range. The three units are separately orderable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08, so a clogged element or damaged bowl does not mean replacing the whole assembly. Stepping up to the GAC300 roughly doubles the plotted flow envelope from 1750 to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but keeping the GAC200 saves weight and space. Finally, the max supply is 1.0 MPa and the Standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa, so there is only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the top setting.
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 GAC20008ASWK FAQ
It operates at 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, and the unit weighs 750 g.
The K indicates that a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page. This model also includes the 5 um fine element and an automatic drain.
