About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008LWK
This F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a shared bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body before a metered oil mist is added downstream. The GAFC300 body takes a 1/4in port and weighs 1020 g, with a 60 cc condensate bowl and a separate 98 cc oil bowl.
The lower-pressure type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade. A circular gauge is fitted with an MPa/psi scale for the PT thread, and the reverse-flow valve is included as an ordering option.

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 GAFC30008LWK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of small solenoid valves on a pick-and-place unit where the 5 um element protects fine internal passages and the 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents over-pressuring sensitive actuators.
Test bench air supply
Supply a calibration fixture that requires a stable, low-pressure air source; the lower-pressure regulator holds the set point while the lubricator adds a controlled oil mist to the test pieces.
Light assembly line
Run a small screwdriver or tightening tool on a bench assembly station, where the 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl give a reasonable service interval between checks.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008LWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC30008LWK when your line needs fine filtration and a capped 0.4 MPa output, such as a precision pneumatic control circuit. The 5 um element suits sensitive valves but will need more frequent service than a 40 um grade, and the semi-auto drain dumps condensate on each pressure drop while the manual drain offers on-demand release. The PC bowl is the standard build choice, and the PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale; confirm the bowl material suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The lubricator is meant to carry ISO VG 32 oil, so if the line must stay oil-free, omit this set and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. Spare units are orderable separately as GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08. A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so plan the inlet 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 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 GAFC30008LWK FAQ
The GAFC30008LWK operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum supply pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It is rated for -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The condensate bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl holds 98 cc. Use ISO VG 32 lubricant. The complete unit weighs 1020 g.
The K code specifies a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted to the unit. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol, and it is an ordering difference to note. The valve is included on this model, so the unit is ready for applications that specify this option.
