About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008ALNW
This GAFC300 F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator body with a lubricator on a T-bracket, so the air is cleaned, set to pressure, then oil-misted in the last stage. The 1/4in port and 1020 g mass suit it for a single machine station or a compact pneumatic circuit where space is tight.
The lower-pressure type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 5 um element trapping fine particles for sensitive valves. The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. No gauge is supplied, so the 1/8in gauge connection is ready for one if you need to read the setpoint.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-08 filter & regulator, GAL300-08 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.

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 GAFC30008ALNW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a 5 um filtered, lower-pressure supply to a precision pneumatic valve on a small assembly machine, where the 0.4 MPa ceiling protects delicate actuators from over-pressure.
Single-station automation
Mount this 1/4in unit on a compact work cell to run a single cylinder or gripper, with the automatic drain keeping condensate out of the circuit during continuous shifts.
Instrument air bench
Use it on a test bench or calibration rig where the 5 um element and lower-pressure range provide clean, regulated air for sensitive instruments without oil carryover.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008ALNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC300 body for a 1/4in port with a 3500 L/min flow curve plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet, stepping up from the GAFC200's 1750 L/min envelope when a line needs more capacity. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the 5 um element suits precision applications but needs more frequent service than the 40 um grade. The automatic drain handles wet lines without manual attention, while the L-type range caps at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your circuit never needs more pressure.
Thread is PT with the gauge scale in MPa/psi if a gauge is added later. The two units are orderable separately as GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08, so a damaged bowl or element does not force a full replacement. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, giving a comfortable margin for supply fluctuations.
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 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 1020 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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008ALNW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works from -5 to 70 C, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, has a 60 cc drain bowl and 98 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1020 g. The 5 um element filters the air before the lubricator adds oil mist.
The N in the code means no gauge is supplied with the unit. The GAFC300 body has a 1/8in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge later if you need to read the set pressure. The PT thread uses an MPa/psi scale if you fit one.
