About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SW
The GAFC20008SW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a T-bracket. Air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first unit, then a controlled oil mist is added downstream, so the regulator seat never sees oil. This model uses a 1/4in port, a 5 um element, and a PC bowl, with a working range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
Weighing 590 g, this compact unit suits small jigs or single actuators. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop while the manual drain offers on-demand control. A circular gauge with an MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the catalogue flow curve plots to 1750 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet for sizing reference.

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 GAFC20008SW Is Used
Precision Fixture Clamping
Power a small pneumatic vise or indexing fixture on a benchtop assembly station, where the 5 um element protects fine metering valves from particulate wear.
Single-Actuator Automation
Feed one air cylinder on a compact packaging or labeling machine, using the 36 cc oil bowl to maintain consistent lubrication over a shift.
Lab Air Supply
Supply clean, regulated air to a small test rig or bench instrument, relying on the 5 um filter to keep sensitive orifices clear.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC200 for light-duty circuits with 1/4in ports, where the 590 g mass and 25 cc drain bowl keep the footprint small. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue lists no material-specific ratings. The semi-auto plus manual drain pair covers both automatic dumping and operator-initiated purging. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, at the cost of more frequent element service. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale, matching the default port standard. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR200-08 filter-regulator instead. Spares for this model are the GAFR200-08 and GAL200-08, both orderable separately. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range.
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 GAFC20008SW FAQ
The GAFC20008SW 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). 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 GAFC20008SW ships with both drain types fitted. The semi-auto drain purges condensate automatically each time air pressure drops, which suits intermittent use. The manual drain gives the operator a direct way to empty the 25 cc bowl on demand, useful before maintenance or when the unit sits idle for long periods.
