The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC200N08LW 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 downstream pneumatics, this AirTAC unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. It features a 1/4in port, a 5 um element for fine particle retention, and a nylon bowl. The lower-pressure type restricts the operating range to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), making it suitable for sensitive circuits that cannot tolerate higher forces.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread. Weighing 750 g, the assembly includes a 25 cc condensate bowl and a 36 cc oil reservoir, and the three components are individually replaceable as GAF200-08, GAR200-08 and GAL200-08.

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 low-force grippers and small-bore cylinders handling delicate electronics where strict 0.15-0.4 MPa control prevents crushing components.
Conditions air for sensitive test fixtures and analytical instruments, using the 5 um element to protect tiny internal valves from particulate fouling.
Supplies vacuum generators and lightweight handling nozzles on benchtop machines, adding the precise oil mist needed to keep small moving parts cycling smoothly.
Choose this assembly when a machine requires very fine 5 um filtration alongside a strict 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) ceiling, as the L type prevents accidental over-pressurization of delicate actuators. The nylon bowl offers a lightweight alternative to metal or PC, though buyers should confirm chemical compatibility for aggressive environments. The semi-auto and manual drain pair is fitted, emptying the 25 cc bowl on each pressure drop or on demand, which suits attended jigs rather than unattended wet lines. If the downstream line must remain completely oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. Stepping up to the GAC300 body raises the plotted flow envelope from 1750 to 3000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but this compact unit is ideal for single actuators. Note that the lower-pressure ceiling of 0.4 MPa is 44% of the Standard type's 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 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 has a temperature range of -5 to 70 C, a 25 cc drain bowl, a 36 cc oil bowl, and weighs 750 g. The recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
The W code specifies a 5 um element, which traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um filter, making it ideal for precision valves but requiring more frequent element service. The L type restricts the regulation ceiling to 0.4 MPa, so if the machine may ever need more pressure, the standard S type rated for 0.9 MPa would be the correct choice.
