About the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SW
Delivering cleaned, regulated and lubricated air, this AirTAC GAC400N10SW combines a filter, regulator and lubricator on a single L-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. The 3/8in port serves mid-size pneumatics, while the 5 um element traps fine particles for sensitive valves. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread.
Air passes through the filter first, then the regulator, and finally the lubricator, ensuring oil mist is added downstream so the regulator seat never fouls. The nylon bowl houses a 100 cc condensate capacity and a 185 cc oil reservoir. Operating between -5 to 70 C, the unit handles a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).

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 GAC400N10SW Is Used
CNC Tool Changers
Feeds sensitive pneumatic tool changers where the 5 um element prevents fine particulates from jamming high-precision valve spools.
Carton Erector Lines
Supplies steady 0.9 MPa air to multi-axis carton erectors, using the 185 cc oil bowl to maintain consistent lubrication for high-speed moving grippers.
Automated Assembly Cells
Conditions air for mid-sized assembly stations, relying on the 100 cc condensate bowl to capture moisture from continuous daily duty cycles.
Is the Airtac GAC F.R.L. Unit GAC400N10SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this 2390 g assembly for mid-capacity lines requiring high filtration. The 5 um element protects precision instruments but needs more frequent service than the standard 40 um grade. It carries a semi-auto and manual drain pair, emptying condensate on pressure drops or demand. The nylon bowl suits standard environments, though buyers should confirm compatibility with aggressive solvents. If the downstream line must remain oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a separate filter-regulator instead. Spares share the 400-10 suffix: GAF400-10, GAR400-10 and GAL400-10.
For sizing, the catalogue flow curve for the GAC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is double the 3000 L/min envelope of the GAC300. Additionally, the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure provides a 1.5x burst-test margin over the 1.0 MPa maximum, though this is strictly a safety rating and never permission to run above 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
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 GAC400N10SW FAQ
This standard type unit operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It weighs 2390 g, features a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, and runs from -5 to 70 C using ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The 5 um W-grade element captures far finer particles than the standard 40 um filter, making it ideal for instrument air but requiring more frequent replacement. The nylon bowl is a lightweight build choice, and the unit ships with a semi-auto and manual drain fitted simultaneously.
