About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008SK
The GAFC30008SK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. Air enters the 1/4in port, gets filtered to 40 um and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream. The circular gauge reads in MPa/psi, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted.
With a 60 cc condensate bowl and a 98 cc oil bowl, this 1020 g unit suits a single machine station or a small panel. The semi-auto drain releases condensate on pressure drops, while the manual drain offers on-demand control. The PT thread and 40 um element are standard for general pneumatic circuits.

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 GAFC30008SK Is Used
Precision jig clamping
Feed a single pneumatic clamp on a CNC fixture with regulated air at 0.15-0.9 MPa, keeping the workholding force stable while the lubricator protects the clamp cylinder.
Small conveyor drive
Power a short belt conveyor's air motor or cylinder with the 1/4in port, using the 60 cc bowl to catch condensate from a humid plant line.
Bench test rig
Supply a lab test bench with filtered, pressure-set air for a single actuator or valve, with the gauge letting you verify the setpoint before each run.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC30008SK when you need a 1/4in port with a 40 um element and both semi-auto and manual drains. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The fitted gauge shows MPa/psi, matching the PT thread. The reverse-flow valve is included, which the catalogue draws as a separate symbol. For oil-free lines, skip the lubricator and select a plain GAFR300-08 filter-regulator instead. Spares are GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08. With 1.0 MPa max supply, you have 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 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 GAFC30008SK FAQ
The GAFC30008SK operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It works from -5 to 70 C, uses ISO VG 32 oil, has a 60 cc drain bowl and a 98 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1020 g. The element is 40 um and the port is 1/4in.
The K code means the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue shows it as a separate pneumatic symbol on its own page, but our data does not detail its function. It is an ordering difference to note when comparing GAFC30008S and GAFC30008SK.
