The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC30008SN 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic systems, this AirTAC F.R.L. combination integrates a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 1/4in ported GAC300 body operates within a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) standard pressure range, utilizing a 40 um element to capture solid particles before they reach downstream valves. Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling of the pressure-control mechanism.
Weighing 1300 g, this assembly relies on a proper panel or frame mount rather than support from the tubing alone. The unit arrives without a gauge, but features a 1/8in gauge connection for operators who need to add instrumentation to read the set pressure. Condensate management is handled by a paired semi-auto and manual drain, emptying into a 60 cc bowl, while the 98 cc oil reservoir dictates the lubricant refill cycle.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAF300-08 filter, GAR300-08 regulator, GAL300-08 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.

Prepares air for automatic tool changers on machining centers, ensuring the 1/4in air supply is free of particulates and properly misted for spindle actuation.
Conditions air for the pneumatic sealing jaws on horizontal flow wrappers, maintaining steady pressure for consistent film crimps and cutting operations.
Supplies regulated and lubricated air to small gripper assemblies on electronic assembly lines, protecting delicate suction cups and moving slides from wear.
Choose this 1/4in ported GAC300 assembly when feeding individual actuators or small manifolds, stepping up from the GAC200 which offers a 1750 L/min plotted flow envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet compared to the 3000 L/min envelope of this body. The standard PC bowl suits general industrial environments, while the semi-auto drain dumps condensate on every pressure drop alongside the manual option. Since no gauge is supplied, the 1/8in connection port remains available to mount a pressure indicator reading in MPa or psi for the default PT thread. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. For maintenance, the assembly accepts GAF300-08, GAR300-08 and GAL300-08 replacement units. The 1.5 MPa proof pressure provides a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa maximum, but this does not permit running above the 1.0 MPa limit.
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 unit regulates pressure from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, features a 60 cc drain bowl, a 98 cc oil bowl, weighs 1300 g, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The N in the ordering code indicates no gauge is supplied, so the set pressure cannot be read directly from the unit. However, the body includes a 1/8in gauge connection, allowing you to install a separate circular gauge reading in MPa and psi for the default PT thread.
