Airtac GAF Filter GAF40010AJW
The AirTAC Airtac GAF Filter GAF40010AJW is a genuine compressed-air filter. Its diversion structure spins the air to separate liquid water and trap solid particles down to 5 µm, protecting downstream valves and tools. It has 3/8" ports and a 100 cc drain bowl. It is a filter only — it does not regulate or set pressure.

About the Airtac GAF Filter GAF40010AJW
The GAF40010AJW is a genuine AirTAC air filter that uses a diversion structure to spin incoming air, throwing liquid water and solid particles into its 100 cc drain bowl while the 5 um HDPE element traps fine grain. It is a filter only - there is no regulator, no pressure gauge and no lubricator, so it cleans the air but never sets or controls pressure.
This 3/8in model weighs 640 g and its flow curve is plotted to 8000 L/min. The automatic drain (A) releases condensate without manual attention, and the J code means no mounting bracket is included, so plan for a panel mount or an existing bracket. The PC bowl and 5 um element suit general-purpose lines where finer filtration protects precision valves downstream.

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 GAFR400 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 GAFR400-10 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 GAF40010AJW Is Used
CNC machine air prep
Feed a 3/8in line to a CNC tool changer or spindle air system where the 5 um element stops fine abrasive dust from scoring precision slides and valves.
Pneumatic conveyor controls
Mount on a panel feeding solenoid valves for a packaging conveyor; the automatic drain handles condensate from humid plant air without daily service.
Instrument air for gauges
Protect sensitive pneumatic gauges and sensors on a test bench with 5 um filtration, keeping water droplets and rust scale out of the instrument loop.
Is the Airtac GAF Filter GAF40010AJW the Right Filter?
Choose the GAF400 body when a 3/8in port and a 100 cc drain bowl match your flow needs; it sits between the GAF300 (60 cc bowl, curve to 6000 L/min) and the GAF500 (108 cc bowl, curve to 9000 L/min). The automatic drain (A) suits unattended or wet lines, while a blank drain would give both semi-auto and manual drains - this model has the automatic type. The J code omits the bracket, the W element is 5 um instead of 40 um, and PT is the port thread standard. If you also need a set pressure, use the matching GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead of this plain filter. The 100 cc bowl holds about 1.67x the condensate of the GAF300's 60 cc bowl, meaning fewer drain checks on this body.
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 GAFR400
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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 640 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 GAFR400-10 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAF Filter GAF40010AJW FAQ
Filtering grade is 5 um. Working pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 640 g. It has a 3/8in PT port and an automatic drain.
The J code means the mounting bracket is NOT included. A standard GAF400 ships with a bracket, but the J option omits it for installations that use a panel mount or an existing bracket. This model also has an automatic drain (A) and a 5 um element (W).
