About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008SW
The GAFC30008SW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared bracket with quick clamps. Air enters the 1/4in port, gets filtered and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then the lubricator injects a metered oil mist downstream. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade, making this unit suitable for precision valves or sensitive pneumatic controls.
The 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm: with a 1020 g mass, this is a mid-size unit that needs a proper panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The circular gauge is fitted and reads in MPa/psi on the PT thread. Both the semi-auto drain (which dumps on pressure drop) and the manual drain are included, giving operators control over condensate removal.

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 GAFC30008SW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a 5/2-way directional control valve on a small assembly fixture with 5 um filtered air, ensuring the valve spool stays free of fine particulates that could cause sticking or premature wear.
Light conveyor tensioning
Supply regulated air to a belt tensioning cylinder on a packaging line, where the 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers typical tension settings and the 60 cc bowl handles condensate between shift checks.
Bench test rigs
Power a pneumatic test fixture with multiple small actuators, using the 5 um element to protect sensitive flow control orifices and the lubricator to maintain consistent cylinder lubrication during repeated cycles.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30008SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC30008SW when you need 1/4in porting with the finer 5 um filtration for cleaner air. The PC bowl is the standard build choice; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific chemical or impact data. The semi-auto plus manual drain combination works well for attended stations where operators can periodically check the bowl. The PT thread and MPa/psi gauge scale match standard regional fittings.
The filter and regulator share one body, so there is one less inter-unit joint to seal compared to a three-piece train. Spares are orderable separately: GAFR300-08 for the filter-regulator and GAL300-08 for the lubricator, both with the same 1/4in port. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan your inlet pressure accordingly if you need to run near the upper setpoint.
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 GAFC30008SW FAQ
The GAFC30008SW 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. It has a 60 cc drain bowl and 98 cc oil bowl, weighs 1020 g, and uses ISO VG 32 or equivalent lubricant.
The W code specifies a 5 um filtering grade, which traps much finer particles than the standard 40 um element. This is beneficial for precision valves, instrument air, or sensitive pneumatic components, but the finer element will load up faster and require more frequent servicing or replacement compared to a 40 um grade.
