About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008S
This AirTAC GAFC20008S is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared bracket. Air enters the 1/4" port, gets filtered to 40 um and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then oil mist is metered in downstream. The 590 g assembly suits compact machines where panel space is tight.
The filter and regulator share one body, so there is one less inter-unit joint to seal compared to a three-piece train. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm, and the circular gauge reads in MPa/psi for the default PT thread. Max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C without freezing.

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 GAFC20008S Is Used
Single-Actuator Stations
Feed one pneumatic cylinder or rotary actuator on a benchtop assembly fixture, where the 1/4" port and 590 g weight keep the setup compact.
Prototype Test Rigs
Regulate air for a lab test bench that cycles a valve or gripper, with the 40 um element protecting sensitive components from line debris.
Small Paint Spray Systems
Supply filtered, regulated air to a handheld spray gun in a touch-up booth, relying on the lubricator to keep the tool's internals running smoothly.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008S the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC200 for light-duty circuits with 1/4" ports, like a single actuator or small jig. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate on each pressure drop, with a manual override for on-demand draining. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the 40 um element handles general shop air; step to the 5 um element (W code) if you feed precision valves. The circular gauge is fitted and reads MPa/psi on the PT thread. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. Spares are orderable as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure carefully 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 GAFC20008S FAQ
The GAFC20008S operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in temperatures from -5 to 70 C and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, and the unit weighs 590 g.
The semi-auto drain automatically releases condensate when system pressure drops, and the manual drain lets you purge the 25 cc bowl on demand. This dual setup is useful for intermittent duty cycles where pressure fluctuations occur regularly.
