About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SNK
This AirTAC GAFC20008SNK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. The 1/4in port and 590 g mass suit it for compact machine builds where panel space is tight. It filters to 40 um, regulates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair handles condensate without an automatic mechanism.
The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and the N in the code means no gauge is supplied; the 1/8in gauge connection is there if you add one later. The 25 cc drain bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm for a small actuator or jig circuit. The lubricator adds a controlled oil mist last, so the regulator seat stays dry. Rated for -5 to 70 C, it must not freeze, and it uses ISO VG 32 oil.

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 GAFC20008SNK Is Used
Bench Press Feed
Feed a small pneumatic bench press or arbor press with regulated, lubricated air. The 1/4in port and 590 g body mount neatly beside the frame, and the 40 um element protects the press cylinder from pipe scale.
Portable Tool Cart
Power a portable riveting or fastening tool cart. The semi-auto drain clears water when the cart is parked and pressure drops, while the 36 cc oil bowl keeps the tool lubricated through a shift of intermittent use.
Lab Test Jig
Supply a lab test jig that cycles a small pneumatic actuator. The 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers typical test pressures, and the 25 cc drain bowl is easy to inspect between test runs.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC20008SNK when your circuit is a single cylinder, a small indexing table, or a bench fixture needing filtered, regulated, lubricated air at 1/4in ports. The PC bowl is the standard build; the catalogue gives no material-specific temperature or impact data, so confirm it suits your environment. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate when pressure drops, and the manual drain gives you on-demand control. The 40 um element is the default; step to the 5 um element if you feed precision valves. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale, though this unit ships without a gauge. The reflux valve is fitted per the K code. Spares are the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator and the GAL200-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. With the 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa regulated top, so plan your inlet pressure if you intend to run near the ceiling.
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 GAFC20008SNK FAQ
The GAFC20008SNK operates from 0.15 to 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 -5 to 70 C temperatures, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, and weighs 590 g. The drain bowl holds 25 cc, the oil bowl holds 36 cc, and the port is 1/4in.
The N in the code GAFC20008SNK means no gauge is supplied. The unit has a 1/8in gauge connection port, so you can fit a compatible pressure gauge there if you need to read the set pressure. Without a gauge, you cannot verify the regulated outlet pressure directly.
