About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08ALK
This AirTAC unit pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure before a metered oil mist is added downstream. The GAFC300N08ALK uses a 1/4in port, regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and filters down to 40 um.
The nylon bowl holds 60 cc of condensate while the separate oil bowl holds 98 cc, and the whole assembly weighs 1020 g. A circular gauge is fitted with an MPa/psi scale, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator.

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 GAFC300N08ALK Is Used
Precision Fixture Clamping
Feed a small pneumatic vise or work-holding fixture on a benchtop assembly station, where the lower pressure range prevents over-clamping delicate parts.
Laboratory Air Supply
Provide filtered and regulated air to a lab test rig or a single air-operated valve, with the automatic drain keeping the line clear during long experiments.
Maintenance Shop Tools
Supply a small air drill or a blow gun in a maintenance bay, where the 1/4in port and lower pressure range suit light intermittent use.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08ALK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this lower-pressure model when your circuit never needs more than 0.4 MPa, such as light assembly or small actuator work. The nylon bowl is a build choice, but the shared -5 to 70 C and 1.0 MPa limits apply to all bowl materials, so confirm it suits your environment. The automatic drain suits unattended lines, and the 40 um element handles standard shop air. A reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and the PT thread comes with an MPa/psi gauge. The filter-regulator and lubricator are orderable separately as GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated band.
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 GAFC300N08ALK FAQ
The GAFC300N08ALK is an F.R.L. combination with a 1/4in port. It regulates 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it uses ISO VG 32 oil. The drain bowl holds 60 cc, the oil bowl holds 98 cc, and the unit weighs 1020 g.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this unit. It is shown as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue, and it is included as an ordering difference. The filter-regulator and lubricator are still the two main serviceable parts, orderable as GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08.
