Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SNW 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SNW
Delivering cleaned, pressure-set and oil-misted air, the AirTAC GAC400N10SNW is a three-unit F.R.L. combination pairing a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket. This specific unit features a 3/8in port, a 5 um element for trapping fine particles, and a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The nylon bowl equips this assembly for environments where standard PC bowls might be unsuitable, though buyers must confirm chemical compatibility for aggressive surroundings.
Because the lubricator sits last in the sequence, oil mist is introduced downstream of the regulator seat, preventing fouling during pressure modulation. This model ships without a gauge, but features a 1/4in gauge connection for adding instrumentation later. Weighing 2390 g, the unit requires a solid panel or frame mount rather than tubing support, and its 100 cc drain bowl with 185 cc oil reservoir dictates the maintenance interval.

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 GAC400N10SNW Is Used
CNC Tool Changers
Feeds precision pneumatic tool changers where the 5 um element protects delicate gripper valves from microscopic grit.
Form-Fill-Seal Lines
Conditions air for continuous form-fill-seal packaging equipment, relying on the 100 cc drain bowl to capture heavy condensate loads.
Lab Automation
Supplies regulated air to multi-axis laboratory dispensing robots, allowing technicians to mount a separate gauge in the 1/4in port.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 3/8in port nylon-bowl unit when a machine requires highly filtered air without a factory-installed pressure gauge. The 5 um element captures far finer particulate than the standard 40 um grade, making it ideal for precision valves, though it will require more frequent element service. If your downstream line must remain completely oil-free, you should omit the lubricator entirely and select a dedicated filter-regulator instead. The semi-auto and manual drain pair fitted here dumps condensate on every pressure drop or on demand, whereas an automatic drain clears liquid without an operator. Should a component fail, the assembly breaks down into separately orderable spares: GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10. Stepping up to the GAC500 roughly increases the plotted flow envelope from 6000 to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, but the GAC400 holds about 1.5x the proof-pressure margin at 1.5 MPa against the 1.0 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 GAC400N10SNW 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 functions in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, uses a 5 um element, and weighs 2390 g. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32.
The N in the ordering code indicates no gauge is supplied from the factory. The bracket leaves a 1/4in gauge connection open, allowing operators to install a specific PT-thread gauge reading MPa/psi that matches their visibility requirements.
