About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30010ALK
This GAFC30010ALK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. The 3/8in port and 1020 g mass place it in the mid-size class, where a proper panel or frame mount is needed rather than tubing support. It regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and filters to 40 um.
The lower-pressure L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if the machine may ever need more, this is the wrong part. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, and the 60 cc drain bowl plus 98 cc oil bowl define the service interval. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa and psi on the PT thread scale.

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 GAFC30010ALK Is Used
Precision pressure setting
Set a delicate pneumatic clamp or fixture to a precise 0.3 MPa (43 psi) without risking an over-pressure spike, thanks to the lower-pressure regulator range.
Unattended machine lines
On a packaging line that runs overnight, the automatic drain clears condensate from the 60 cc bowl without an operator, keeping the lubricator fed with ISO VG 32 oil.
Compact machine builds
In a small assembly machine with limited rail space, the two-piece filter-regulator plus lubricator layout saves width compared to a three-body train, while the 3/8in port matches common valve islands.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30010ALK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC300 body for medium flows, with the 3/8in port suiting single actuators or small headers. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your surroundings, as the catalogue gives no material-specific data. The automatic drain is decisive for unattended lines, while the lower-pressure range suits delicate circuits that must never see high pressure. The 40 um element is the default; step to the 5 um W option for finer filtration. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, shown as a separate symbol in the catalogue. Spares are orderable as GAFR300-10 and GAL300-10, so a damaged bowl or element does not mean replacing the whole set. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so there is ample inlet headroom for stable regulation.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" 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 GAFR300-10 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30010ALK FAQ
It 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl 98 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The unit weighs 1020 g and has a 3/8in port.
The L type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), while the standard S type goes up to 0.9 MPa (130 psi). If your application may need more than 0.4 MPa, the L type is not suitable. The 1.0 MPa max supply still provides about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top setting, ensuring stable regulation within the lower band.
