Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALWK
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALWK 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALWK
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air, this AirTAC GAC400N10ALWK combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. The 3/8in port pairs with a 5 um element to trap fine particles before they reach precision valves. Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator sets the 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) outlet pressure, and oil mist is added last so it never fouls the regulator seat.
Weighing 2390 g, this body needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The nylon bowl houses a 100 cc condensate chamber and a 185 cc oil reservoir. An automatic drain clears water without an operator, while a circular gauge reads MPa/psi for the default PT thread. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.

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 GAC400N10ALWK Is Used
Precision Valve Lines
Feeds sensitive pneumatic valves in CNC tool changers using the 5 um element to prevent sticking.
Low-Force Packaging
Regulates delicate gripping pressure on carton erecting machines where the 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents crushing.
Lab Automation
Conditions air for multi-axis fluid dispensing robots requiring steady low pressure and fine filtration.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10ALWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this lower-pressure type for circuits capped at 0.4 MPa; if the machine may ever need more, the L type is the wrong part. The 5 um element suits instrument air but needs more frequent service than the 40 um standard. A semi-auto plus manual drain is the default, but this A code specifies an automatic drain for unattended or wet lines. If the downstream line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a filter-regulator instead. Spares share the 400-10 suffix: GAF400-10, GAR400-10, GAL400-10. The catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, exactly double the GAC300's 3000 L/min envelope, giving a clear sizing step. The 0.4 MPa ceiling is 44% of the Standard type's 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 GAC400N10ALWK FAQ
This lower-pressure model regulates from 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) against a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. 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 catalogue draws this as a separate pneumatic symbol with details on its own page; it is an ordering difference and does not change the core air preparation function.
