About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010ASW
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 3/8in ported GAC400 body carries a 5 um element to capture fine particles, operating within a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) standard pressure range. A circular gauge reading MPa/psi is fitted for the default PT thread.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, before oil mist is added downstream by the lubricator so the regulator seat never gets fouled. The 2390 g assembly features an automatic drain that empties the 100 cc condensate bowl without an operator, while the 185 cc oil bowl sets the lubrication refill interval. Replacement spares follow the body and port suffix exactly: 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 GAC40010ASW Is Used
CNC Tooling Feed
Supplies finely filtered, lubricated air to pneumatic tool changers and precision actuation systems on CNC machining centers.
Flow Wrapper Drives
Conditions air for high-speed packaging lines where the 5 um element protects sensitive flow control valves from particulate fouling.
Automated Assembly Cells
Prepares supply for multi-actuator assembly stations, using the automatic drain to handle condensate during continuous shift operations.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC40010ASW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/8in ported unit when a machine demands high filtration, as the 5 um element traps far finer particles than the 40 um standard, protecting precision valves at the cost of more frequent element service. The PC bowl is suited for general environments, while the automatic drain makes it ideal for unattended or wet lines. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead.
The catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, exactly double the 3000 L/min envelope of the GAC300, giving a clear sizing step up. Remember that the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure against the 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum provides a 1.5x burst-test margin, not permission to run above 1.0 MPa.
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 GAC40010ASW FAQ
This standard type 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). It features a 3/8in port, a 5 um element, an automatic drain with a 100 cc condensate bowl, a 185 cc oil bowl, and weighs 2390 g. The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The W code specifies a 5 um element, which traps much finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making it suitable for instrument air or precision valves. The A code indicates an automatic drain fitted to the PC bowl, clearing condensate without manual intervention for unattended or wet lines.
