About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C10LK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for downstream pneumatics, this AirTAC GAC400C10LK is a complete three-unit F.R.L. combination pre-plumbed on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/8in port pairs with a robust metal bowl and a 40 um element, while the lower-pressure type governs the outlet range from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). A fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
Air passes through the filter, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. Weighing 2390 g, this body pairs a 100 cc condensate bowl with a 185 cc oil reservoir. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue, and the assembly uses quick mounting clamps to eliminate inter-unit tubing leaks.

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 GAC400C10LK Is Used
Low-Force Pneumatic Clamping
Feeds delicate actuator circuits on CNC fixturing where outlet pressure must stay strictly under 0.4 MPa to prevent workpiece deformation.
Light-Duty Packaging Lines
Conditions air for small pick-and-place grippers and sealing jaws that rely on a steady, lower-pressure supply and consistent oil mist for moving seals.
Laboratory Air Prep
Prepares instrument air for benchtop pneumatic stations, using the metal bowl and 40 um filter to protect sensitive valves from particulate ingress.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400C10LK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/8in model for low-pressure duties up to 0.4 MPa where a metal bowl is preferred for the environment. It carries a semi-auto and manual drain pair, meaning the semi-auto dumps condensate on each pressure drop while the manual mode allows on-demand emptying. If your machine requires oil-free air downstream, you must omit the lubricator and select a dedicated filter-regulator instead. Should a component fail, the assembly splits into separately orderable spares: GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10. Stepping up to the GAC500 roughly doubles the plotted flow envelope from 6000 to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but selecting this L-type restricts your ceiling to 44% of the standard 0.9 MPa maximum.
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 GAC400C10LK FAQ
This lower-pressure unit regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and carries a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating. It operates from -5 to 70 C, weighs 2390 g, holds 100 cc of condensate and 185 cc of oil, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The official AirTAC catalogue depicts this as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page, and specific functional details should be confirmed from that datasheet.
