Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010 is a genuine compressed-air filter. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles down to 40 µm, protecting downstream valves and tools. It has 3/8" ports and a 60 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010
The GAF30010 is a genuine AirTAC air filter that cleans compressed air by spinning it through a diversion structure, throwing liquid water and solid particles into the 60 cc drain bowl while the HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only, with no regulator or pressure gauge, and it protects downstream valves and tools from water and dirt.
This model has a 3/8in port, a 40 um filter element, and a PC bowl. It ships with both semi-auto and manual drains fitted, and the mounting bracket is included. At 360 g, it is a compact unit that belongs in a GAF300 size class, positioned between the smaller GAF200 and the larger GAF400.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAF catalogue (pages 225-226). Air must not freeze in the unit. This is a filter only — it separates water and solid particles but does not set or hold a downstream pressure. To regulate pressure as well, use the matching GAFR300 filter-regulator.

A GAF has no regulator and no pressure gauge — there is no type, gauge or reflux code. Need to regulate pressure too? The matching GAFR300-10 is the same filter with a built-in regulator.

Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. A filter this size drops less pressure at flow than the same-body GAFR filter-regulator, so match it to your peak demand.

Where the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010 Is Used
CNC machine tooling
Protect precision pneumatic actuators on a CNC machine from water and particulate that could cause sticking or wear. The 40 um element handles general shop air, and the 60 cc bowl supports a full shift between drains.
Test bench air supply
Feed clean air to a laboratory test bench with multiple small valves and cylinders. The GAF30010 filters the supply before it reaches sensitive components, and the semi-auto drain keeps the bowl from overflowing during long test cycles.
Assembly line pick-and-place
Guard a pick-and-place unit on an assembly line from dirty air that could clog its solenoid valves. The included bracket mounts the filter securely to the machine frame, and the 3/8in port matches common manifold feeds.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010 the Right Filter?
Choose the body and port to match your line size: the GAF300 with a 3/8in port suits medium-flow circuits, while the smaller GAF200 (1/8in-1/4in ports) handles light duty and the larger GAF400 (3/8in-1/2in ports) steps up for higher demand. The PC bowl is the standard build choice, and the semi-auto plus manual drain lets you empty the bowl automatically when pressurized or manually when needed. The included bracket simplifies mounting, and the PT thread standard matches common local fittings. If your line also needs a set pressure, use the matching GAFR300-10 filter-regulator instead, as this GAF does not regulate. The GAF300's 6000 L/min flow envelope is 2x the GAF200's 3000 L/min, giving you a clear sizing step.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm (general) or 5 µm (fine)
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J)
- ✓ Need pressure control too? Use GAFR300
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, bowl accessible.
- check Place the filter FIRST in the air-prep train, ahead of any regulator or lubricator.
- check Keep pressure at or below the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit.
- check Drain condensate before the 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 360 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter only — it removes water and solid particles but adds no pressure control and no lubrication. Add a GAR regulator, a GAL lubricator, or step up to the GAFR300-10 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF30010 FAQ
The GAF30010 is a 3/8in port air filter with a 40 um HDPE element. Its working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The drain bowl holds 60 cc, and the unit weighs 360 g. It has a PC bowl, a semi-auto plus manual drain, and an included mounting bracket.
No, the GAF30010 is a filter only. It removes water and solid particles from the air but does not set or regulate pressure. It has no pressure gauge or adjusting knob. If you need pressure control, choose the GAFR300-10 filter-regulator, which combines the filter with a built-in regulator, or add a separate GAR regulator.
