Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SK
The AirTAC GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SK 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SK
This GAFC20008SK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body handles filtration and pressure control, then a separate lubricator adds a metered oil mist. The 1/4in port and 590 g weight place it in the compact GAFC200 class, suitable for feeding a single actuator or small jig.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 40 um element trapping solids and water. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service interval, while the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa/psi. A reverse-flow valve is included, and the unit must not freeze in operation.

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 GAFC20008SK Is Used
Single-Actuator Feed
Feed one pneumatic cylinder on a small assembly fixture with clean, regulated, lubricated air at up to 0.9 MPa.
Bench-Mounted Tool
Supply a benchtop press or drilling jig where a compact 1/4in F.R.L. set fits tight spaces and handles light duty cycles.
Prototype Rig
Use on a lab or prototyping setup where the 40 um element and manual drain allow quick changes and easy monitoring.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC20008SK when you need a 1/4in port with a 40 um element and both semi-auto and manual drains. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the gauge reads in MPa/psi for the PT thread. The reverse-flow valve is fitted, and the two units are orderable separately as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08. If the line must stay oil-free, select a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead of this lubricating set.
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 the inlet pressure accordingly 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 GAFC20008SK FAQ
The GAFC20008SK operates at 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 has a 25 cc drain bowl and 36 cc oil bowl, weighs 590 g, and works from -5 to 70 C. Use ISO VG 32 oil in the lubricator.
The K code adds a reverse-flow (reflux) valve to this GAFC20008SK. The catalogue shows it as a separate pneumatic symbol. It is fitted at the factory, so you do not need to add it later.
