About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SWK
This GAFC20008SWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. Air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body, then a metered oil mist is added downstream, so the regulator seat never sees oil. With a 1/4in port and a 590 g mass, it suits compact jigs and single-actuator stations where panel space is tight.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 5 um element that traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade. The 25 cc condensate bowl and 36 cc oil bowl define the service interval, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop while the manual drain works on demand. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the PT thread.

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 GAFC20008SWK Is Used
Precision Jig Fixtures
Feed a small pneumatic jig or fixture with clean, regulated, lubricated air at a consistent 0.15-0.9 MPa. The 5 um element protects fine orifices in precision clamping valves.
Single-Actuator Stations
Power one air cylinder or rotary actuator on a bench assembly station. The compact 590 g body mounts easily on a small panel or frame without straining the tubing.
Light Assembly Lines
Supply a short run of pneumatic screwdrivers or small presses on a light assembly line. The 25 cc condensate bowl suits moderate moisture loads, and the semi-auto drain clears on each cycle.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC20008SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC200 for small machines with 1/8in or 1/4in ports; the 08 code specifies 1/4in. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the catalogue gives no impact or chemical data, so confirm it suits your surroundings. The semi-auto plus manual drain pair covers both unattended pressure drops and scheduled maintenance. The 5 um element is for precision valves or instrument air, but expect more frequent element service than a 40 um grade. The PT thread carries a MPa/psi gauge scale, and the K code adds a reverse-flow valve, shown as a separate symbol in the catalogue. 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 band, so plan the supply pressure accordingly.
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 GAFC20008SWK FAQ
The GAFC20008SWK 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. The drain bowl holds 25 cc and the oil bowl 36 cc. Use ISO VG 32 lubricant. The unit weighs 590 g.
The K code specifies a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted to this GAFC20008SWK. The catalogue draws it as a separate pneumatic symbol. It is an ordering difference, not a functional description, so confirm the application need from the datasheet.
