About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALNK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air for pneumatic systems, this GAC400N10ALNK is a complete F.R.L. combination pairing a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The assembly features a 3/8in port, a 40 um element and a nylon bowl. Because the lubricator sits last in the airflow path, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling of internal components.
This specific configuration operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and includes an automatic drain that clears condensate without operator intervention. No pressure gauge is supplied, but a 1/4in gauge connection allows for later addition if visual monitoring is needed. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue, and the unit weighs 2390 g.

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 GAC400N10ALNK Is Used
Low-Pressure Textile Machinery
Feeds sensitive looms and spinning frames where the 0.15-0.4 MPa range prevents damage to delicate fibers while the automatic drain handles constant moisture.
Light-Duty Packaging Lines
Supplies regulated, lubricated air to low-force sealing jaws and conveyor diverters that rely on gentle actuation rather than high-torque cylinders.
Laboratory Pneumatic Stations
Conditions air for benchtop analytical instruments requiring stable low-pressure input, with the nylon bowl resisting accidental chemical splashes.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/8in body when a machine requires low-pressure regulation between 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). If the application ever demands a higher outlet pressure, this L-type assembly is the wrong part, as the Standard type regulates up to 0.9 MPa. The nylon bowl offers a lightweight alternative to metal or PC, though buyers should confirm material compatibility for aggressive surroundings. The automatic drain pairs well with the 100 cc condensate bowl for unattended wet lines, while the 185 cc oil bowl sets the lubrication service interval. Since no gauge is included, operators cannot read the set pressure without adding one to the 1/4in connection. The build omits an oil-free output, so select a separate filter-regulator if the downstream line must remain dry. Replacement spares follow the 400-10 suffix: GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10. Compared to the GAC300, the 100 cc drain bowl here holds roughly 1.6x the condensate of the 60 cc bowl, stretching the time between maintenance visits.
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 GAC400N10ALNK FAQ
This lower-pressure unit regulates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). It shares a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) with the rest of the series. Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the assembly weighs 2390 g.
The N in the code means no gauge is supplied, so a gauge must be added to the 1/4in connection to read the set pressure. The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which the catalogue draws as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page.
