About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASK
This AirTAC GAFC20008ASK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/4in port and 590 g mass place it in the compact GAFC200 class, sized for single actuators or small jigs rather than machine-wide headers.
Air enters the first body where the 40 um element removes solids and moisture, and the regulator sets pressure anywhere in the 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) band. The lubricator then adds a metered ISO VG 32 oil mist downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The automatic drain clears the 25 cc condensate bowl without an operator, while the 36 cc oil bowl sets the service rhythm.

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 GAFC20008ASK Is Used
Precision Jig Clamping
Feed a single pneumatic clamp on a benchtop assembly jig with regulated air at 0.4 MPa (58 psi), while the lubricator keeps the cylinder rod seal wetted for consistent cycle times.
Portable Tool Lubrication
Supply a hand-held screwdriver or nutrunner on a service cart, where the 590 g body mounts easily to a frame and the automatic drain handles moisture from a humid shop line.
Lab Bench Air Supply
Power a small pneumatic actuator on a test fixture, using the 5 um element option if downstream valves need finer filtration, while the gauge lets the operator verify setpoint at a glance.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC200 body when a 1/4in port and 590 g weight fit your layout; the catalogue flow curve is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, useful for relative sizing against larger bodies. The PC bowl is named in the code by its blank position, and the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies unchanged - confirm the material suits your surroundings before ordering. The A code specifies an automatic drain for unattended lines, while the K suffix adds a reverse-flow (reflux) valve, shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, and the 40 um element is the standard grade. Spares are orderable as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08, so a worn part does not force a full replacement. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need the full output.
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 GAFC20008ASK FAQ
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 25 cc and the oil bowl 36 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The complete unit weighs 590 g.
The K suffix indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to the GAFC20008ASK. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol in the circuit diagram. It is an ordering difference to note when comparing with models that lack the K code; the valve is included as part of the assembly.
