About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SNW
This AirTAC GAFC20008SNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: the filter and regulator share one body, and the lubricator is mounted beside it on a T-bracket. Air is cleaned and set to pressure first, then a metered oil mist is added downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The 1/4in port and 590 g mass place it in the compact GAFC200 class, sized for a single actuator or small jig rather than a machine-wide header.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 5 um element fitted to trap finer particles for sensitive valves. There is no gauge supplied, so the set pressure cannot be read without adding one to the 1/8in gauge connection. The PC bowl holds 25 cc of condensate and the oil bowl 36 cc, and the catalogue flow curve is plotted to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet as a sizing envelope.

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 GAFC20008SNW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a single pneumatic valve or small actuator on a benchtop assembly fixture, where the 5 um element protects fine internal clearances from particle wear.
Portable tool circuits
Supply a handheld screwdriver or grinding tool on a maintenance cart, where the compact 590 g body mounts easily and the 1/4in port matches common tool inlets.
Lab air preparation
Prepare air for a small laboratory press or test rig, where the 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers typical setpoints and the 36 cc oil bowl keeps a lubricated cylinder running between checks.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC200 body when a 1/4in port and a compact footprint suit the machine; the neighbouring GAFC300 offers 3/8in and 1/2in ports with a 60 cc drain bowl and a 3500 L/min envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet if more air is needed. The blank bowl code specifies a PC bowl, and the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies, so confirm PC suits the environment. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate on each pressure drop while the manual drain gives on-demand control. The 5 um element filters finer than the standard 40 um but will need more frequent service. The N after the port means no gauge is fitted; the 1/8in connection accepts one later. PT threads with an MPa/psi scale are standard. The two units are orderable separately as GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the supply pressure near 1.0 MPa if the full 0.9 MPa output is needed.
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 GAFC20008SNW FAQ
The GAFC20008SNW operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 25 cc and the oil bowl 36 cc, with a total weight of 590 g. The element grade is 5 um and the port is 1/4in.
The N in the code after the port means no gauge is supplied with the GAFC20008SNW. The set pressure cannot be read directly on the unit. A gauge can be added later to the 1/8in gauge connection, which is the standard size for the GAFC200 body. The PT thread uses an MPa/psi scale if a gauge is fitted.
