Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS
The AirTAC GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 1/4" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS
The GAFC20008AS is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body handles filtration and pressure setting, then a lubricator adds a controlled oil mist downstream. With a 1/4in port and 40 um element, it delivers air cleaned to 40 microns and regulated from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
This 590 g unit pairs a 25 cc condensate bowl with a 36 cc oil reservoir, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. The circular gauge reads in MPa and psi, and the two-piece layout means one less inter-unit joint to seal compared to a three-body filter-regulator-lubricator train.

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 GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS Is Used
Precision Fixtures
Feed a pneumatic clamping fixture on a CNC mill with filtered, regulated air and a fine oil mist to keep the actuating cylinder lubricated.
Packaging Machines
Supply a carton erector's pneumatic sensors and small cylinders with clean, pressure-stable air, while the lubricator maintains the moving parts.
Bench Assembly Stations
Power a bench-mounted press or screwdriver actuator in a manual assembly cell, where the 1/4in port and compact size match the low air demand.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS the Right Air-Prep Unit?
For a small jig or single actuator, the GAFC200 body with its 1/4in port fits where space is tight. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue lists no chemical or impact data. The automatic drain suits unattended lines, while the standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa. The fitted gauge shows MPa and psi, and the PT thread matches common local fittings. Spares are the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator and GAL200-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" 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-regulator 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 25 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 590 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 plain GAFR200-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008AS FAQ
The GAFC20008AS operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It works from -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 oil. The unit has a 25 cc drain bowl and a 36 cc oil bowl, weighs 590 g, and uses a 40 um element.
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 25 cc bowl without operator action, making it suitable for unattended equipment or wet supply lines. It replaces the manual and semi-auto drains found on blank-drain versions, so no one needs to regularly empty the bowl by hand.
