About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008LW
This GAFC20008LW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared bracket with quick clamps. The 1/4in port and 590 g mass suit it for compact machines or single-actuator stations where space is tight.
Air enters the first body where the 5 um element removes fine particles and the regulator sets pressure to 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). The lubricator then adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm for this size class.

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 GAFC20008LW Is Used
Precision Fixture Clamping
Feed a small pneumatic vise or indexing fixture on a benchtop assembly station. The 5 um element protects fine metering valves, while the lower pressure range suits delicate part holding without over-clamping.
Laboratory Air Supply
Supply a lab-scale pneumatic test rig or a single analytical instrument requiring clean, regulated air. The 5 um filtration and 0.4 MPa ceiling match the modest flow and pressure demands of bench equipment.
Maintenance Workshop Line
Protect a portable pneumatic tool or a small spray gun in a maintenance bay. The compact 590 g unit mounts easily on a light frame, and the lower pressure setting prevents over-pressurizing sensitive tools.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008LW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so verify your actuators never need more than that before fitting this unit. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, which suits precision valves but requires more frequent element changes. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi on the PT thread. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate on pressure drop, with a manual override for on-demand draining. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. Spares are GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08, both orderable separately. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so plan your inlet pressure accordingly.
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 GAFC20008LW FAQ
This lower-pressure unit operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a max 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 must not freeze. It has a 25 cc drain bowl and a 36 cc oil bowl, weighs 590 g, and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The 5 um element is fitted, and the PT thread carries a circular gauge reading MPa/psi.
The L type is designed for circuits that operate below 0.4 MPa, such as light clamping or air bearing applications. It provides finer adjustment resolution within that band. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, this is the wrong part - choose the standard S type with a 0.9 MPa ceiling instead.
