About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008LN
This GAFC20008LN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination built for lower-pressure circuits. A filter and regulator share one body, handling filtration down to 40 um and pressure control from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), then a lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream. The 1/4in port and 590 g mass suit compact machines where a full-size train would be overkill.
The PC bowl holds 25 cc of condensate and the separate oil bowl 36 cc, so service intervals are short but predictable on light duty. No gauge is fitted, though the 1/8in gauge connection allows one to be added. The semi-auto drain dumps when pressure drops and the manual drain works on demand, giving operators two ways to clear the bowl.

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 GAFC20008LN Is Used
Low-Pressure Jigs
Feed a clamping jig on a benchtop assembly station where parts are delicate and 0.3 MPa is the maximum safe force. The 1/4in port connects directly to small bore actuators.
Lab Air Supply
Supply filtered, lubricated air to a laboratory test fixture that cycles a small cylinder at controlled low pressure. The 590 g weight lets it mount on a lightweight frame.
Paint Spraying
Run a small paint spray gun from a regulated 0.35 MPa supply. The 40 um element removes particulates while the lubricator maintains consistent atomization air.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008LN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC20008LN when your circuit needs regulated air between 0.15 and 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and a 1/4in port matches your piping. The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if the machine may ever require more pressure, step up to the S type instead. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted, and the 40 um element handles general workshop air. A gauge is not supplied, but the 1/8in connection accepts one if you need to read the setpoint. Spare parts are the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator and GAL200-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. Max supply of 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so you have ample inlet margin for regulation.
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 GAFC20008LN FAQ
This lower-pressure F.R.L. combination operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl 36 cc, and the unit weighs 590 g with a 1/4in port.
The N in the code means no gauge is supplied. The GAFC200 body has a 1/8in gauge connection, so you can fit a pressure gauge later if you need to read the setpoint. Without one, the regulated pressure must be verified with a test gauge or assumed from the regulator setting.
