Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010AS
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010AS 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 3/8" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010AS
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air, this GAC40010AS is a complete F.R.L. combination pairing a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/8in port serves mid-size pneumatic duties, while the standard type regulates pressure from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). A 40 um element captures solid particles, and the assembly weighs 2390 g.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, before the lubricator introduces oil mist downstream so the regulator seat stays clean. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, and a circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread. Spares follow the body-port suffix: GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10.

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 GAC40010AS Is Used
Automotive Assembly Lines
Feeds multiple pneumatic actuators and clamps on a vehicle body welding station where a steady 0.9 MPa output and automatic condensate ejection keep production running without manual drain checks.
Case Erector Machines
Conditions air for the 3/8in pneumatic cylinders that fold and seal corrugated cartons, ensuring the lubricator delivers a consistent oil mist to the moving sealing jaws.
Belt Sorting Diverters
Supplies clean, regulated air to high-speed pneumatic pop-up sorters on a parcel distribution conveyor, relying on the 40 um element to protect the rapid-fire diverter valves from particulate wear.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010AS the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/8in PC bowl unit for unattended lines where the automatic drain prevents condensate buildup in the 100 cc bowl. The fitted gauge reads MPa/psi for the PT thread, letting operators verify the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range directly. If your downstream valves require instrument-grade air, select the 5 um W element, or choose a filter-regulator if the line must stay completely oil-free.
The catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, offering twice the envelope of the GAC300's 3000 L/min. Because the standard type tops out at 0.9 MPa against a 1.0 MPa maximum supply, there is only about 0.1 MPa of regulation headroom above the highest setting.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" 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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 2390 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 GAC40010AS FAQ
This unit operates at 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, the filtering grade is 40 um, and it uses a 100 cc drain bowl with a 185 cc oil bowl. It weighs 2390 g and requires ISO VG 32 or equivalent lubricant.
The A in the model code denotes an automatic drain fitted to the standard PC bowl. It ejects condensate from the 100 cc sump automatically as it accumulates, making the unit suitable for unattended or wet compressed air lines where manual draining is impractical.
