The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC30010ALN is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 3/8" ports, a 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
This GAFC30010ALN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. The 3/8in port and 1020 g mass place it in the mid-size class, suitable for feeding a single machine station or a small panel. Air is cleaned and set to pressure in the first body, then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat.
The lower-pressure type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum supply. The 40 um element handles standard shop air, while the automatic drain clears condensate from the 60 cc bowl without an operator. No gauge is fitted; the 1/8in gauge connection is available if you add one later. The separate 98 cc oil bowl holds ISO VG 32 lubricant for extended operation between refills.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFC catalogue (pages 219-220). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFC300 is 1/8" if you add one.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-10 filter & regulator, GAL300-10 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.
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.

Feed a delicate parts gripper on an assembly bench where the 0.15-0.4 MPa range prevents damage to fragile components. The automatic drain keeps the 60 cc bowl clear during long production runs.
Supply filtered, regulated air to a laboratory test fixture that requires a gentle, consistent pressure below 0.4 MPa. The 40 um element removes particles that could clog fine orifices in analytical equipment.
Protect a small indexing table or a single-station assembly machine with this 3/8in combination. The 1020 g unit mounts easily on a machine frame, and the 98 cc oil bowl supports extended lubrication intervals.
Choose the GAFC30010ALN when your circuit needs a regulated output capped at 0.4 MPa (58 psi) and you want the convenience of an automatic drain. The L-type range suits low-pressure applications like air bearings or delicate gripping, but if the machine may ever require more than 0.4 MPa, select the standard S type instead. The PC bowl is the default build; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific chemical or impact data. With no gauge supplied, plan to read pressure via a panel gauge or add one to the 1/8in connection. The 40 um element is standard; upgrade to the 5 um W option for finer filtration. Spare parts are orderable as GAFR300-10 and GAL300-10. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated range.
Quick checklist
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.
The GAFC30010ALN operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in temperatures from -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 60 cc and the oil bowl holds 98 cc. The complete unit weighs 1020 g and has a 3/8in port.
The 'N' in the code after the port indicates no gauge is supplied. This reduces the unit's profile and cost. To monitor the regulated pressure, you can add a gauge to the 1/8in connection point on the body, or rely on a downstream panel-mounted gauge. The regulator still functions identically, but you cannot read the set pressure directly on the unit.
