Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200C08ALWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200C08ALWK 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).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200C08ALWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for compact pneumatics, this GAC200 unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. It features a 1/4in port, a metal bowl and a 5 um element. The lower-pressure type restricts the operating range to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist enters the airstream downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling.
Weighing 750 g, this assembly is sized for small jigs rather than main plant headers. The automatic drain empties the 25 cc condensate bowl without an operator, which suits unattended or wet lines. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown in the catalogue as a separate pneumatic symbol with details 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 GAC200C08ALWK Is Used
Precision Valve Pilots
Feeds sensitive pneumatic logic and low-pressure pilot valves requiring finely filtered 5 um air to prevent sticking.
Small Assembly Jigs
Conditions air for single-actuator bench jigs where a 1/4in port and a 750 g footprint fit tight tooling spaces.
Laboratory Air Tools
Supplies regulated, lubricated air to low-force lab devices operating safely under the 0.4 MPa ceiling.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200C08ALWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this assembly when a low-pressure circuit requires fine filtration and unattended drainage. The 5 um element traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, protecting precision valves at the cost of more frequent element service. If the machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is the wrong part. The metal bowl suits harsher environments, though buyers should confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. Because oil mist is added downstream, choose a filter-regulator instead if the line must stay oil-free. Spares are GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08. Stepping up to the GAC300 roughly doubles the flow envelope, as its curve is plotted to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet versus 1750 L/min here. Note that 0.4 MPa is about 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.
