About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008LW
This AirTAC GAFC30008LW is an F.R.L. combination where the filter and regulator share one body, paired with a lubricator on a single bracket. It handles a 1/4in port and delivers air filtered to 5 um, regulated to a lower 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) band, then oil-misted for downstream components.
The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm, while the 1020 g mass signals a panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the default PT thread, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop with a manual backup for on-demand use.

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 GAFC30008LW Is Used
Precision Assembly Jigs
Feed a 1/4in line to a pneumatic press or assembly jig where the lower 0.4 MPa ceiling protects delicate part handling and the 5 um element keeps fine particles off precision guides.
Laboratory Air Supply
Supply instrument air to a lab bench or test fixture that requires 5 um filtration and a stable low-pressure setting, with the 98 cc oil bowl ensuring consistent lubrication for small cylinders.
Light Duty Conveyor
Power a short conveyor or single-station pick-and-place unit with a 1/4in port, where the 60 cc condensate bowl and semi-auto drain are manageable for a line operator on a regular schedule.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008LW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC30008LW when your circuit needs fine 5 um filtration and a low 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) regulated output, common for delicate actuators or sensitive valves. The semi-auto plus manual drain pair suits attended lines where an operator can check the 60 cc bowl, and the PC bowl is a build choice - confirm it fits your environment since the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, but expect more frequent element service as the trade-off. Spares are the GAFR300-08 filter-regulator and GAL300-08 lubricator, both orderable separately. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, this L-type is the wrong part - step to a standard S model instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so plan the inlet pressure with that margin in mind.
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 GAFC30008LW FAQ
This lower-pressure model operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It handles temperatures from -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The 60 cc drain bowl and 98 cc oil bowl serve a 1020 g unit with a 1/4in port.
The W code specifies a 5 um element, which traps far finer particles than the standard 40 um grade. This suits precision valves or instrument air where contamination control is critical, but the finer element will load faster and need more frequent replacement - plan maintenance accordingly.
