Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASNW
The AirTAC GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASNW 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASNW
This 1/4in F.R.L. combination joins a filter-regulator with a lubricator on one bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body, then oil mist is metered in downstream. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, suiting precision valves or instrument circuits.
It regulates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum supply, and the automatic drain clears the 25 cc condensate bowl without an operator. The separate 36 cc oil bowl holds ISO VG 32 lubricant, and the whole unit weighs 590 g, so it needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support.

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 GAFC20008ASNW Is Used
Precision Fixture Clamping
Feed a single pneumatic clamp on a benchtop assembly fixture, where the 5 um element protects the clamp's fine seals and the automatic drain keeps the small 25 cc bowl from overflowing during long shifts.
Laboratory Air Supply
Supply a lab bench's small air cylinder or air bearing with filtered, regulated air. The 5 um element suits sensitive lab equipment, and the compact 590 g body mounts easily on a frame or panel.
Semi-Automatic Packaging Line
Run a single packaging machine's pick-and-place cylinder. The automatic drain removes condensate without stopping production, and the 1/4in port matches common small-bore valve manifolds.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008ASNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC200 when a compact 1/4in port feeds a single actuator or small jig. The automatic drain suits unattended lines, while the 5 um element demands more frequent service than a 40 um grade. No gauge is supplied, so the 1/8in gauge connection must be fitted if you need to read set pressure; the PT thread carries an MPa/psi scale on any added gauge. Spares are the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator and GAL200-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated 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 GAFC20008ASNW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, has a 25 cc drain bowl and 36 cc oil bowl, and weighs 590 g. The 5 um filter element and automatic drain are fitted.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied. The GAFC200 body has a 1/8in gauge connection, so you can add a separate gauge if you need to read the set pressure. The PT thread uses an MPa/psi scale on any gauge you fit.
