About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08ASK
The GAFC300N08ASK is an F.R.L. combination that pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air passes through filtration and pressure setting in the first body before the lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream. With a 1/4in port and a 1020 g mass, this unit suits a compact machine header or a single-station fixture where the 60 cc condensate bowl and 98 cc oil bowl balance service frequency against footprint.
This standard-type model regulates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 40 um element, and the nylon bowl is specified by the N code before the port. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, while the fitted circular gauge reads MPa/psi on the default PT thread, and the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is included as a separate pneumatic symbol in the catalogue.

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 GAFC300N08ASK Is Used
Precision jig clamping
Feed a single-station clamping fixture on a CNC mill where the 1/4in port and 0.15-0.9 MPa range set the clamp force precisely, and the automatic drain keeps the line clear during long unattended cycles.
Short conveyor drive
Supply a small pneumatic conveyor motor or a single belt-tensioning cylinder, using the 60 cc condensate bowl to handle moisture from a humid plant while the lubricator meters oil to the moving parts.
Packaging line actuator
Run a carton-folding or labeling actuator on a packaging line where the 1020 g unit mounts on a light frame, and the 98 cc oil bowl supports a full shift of intermittent operation before refilling.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC300N08ASK when a 1/4in port and a 1020 g body fit your panel layout, and the automatic drain removes the need for manual condensate checks. The nylon bowl is named by the N code, but the catalogue gives no material-specific temperature or impact data, so confirm it suits your environment; the 40 um element is the standard grade, and the PT thread sets the gauge scale to MPa/psi. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted per the K code, and the two units are orderable separately as the GAFR300-08 filter & regulator and the GAL300-08 lubricator. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated band leaves only about 0.1 MPa of headroom, so plan the inlet pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need the full 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 GAFC300N08ASK FAQ
This F.R.L. combination works with air, filters to 40 um, and regulates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Maximum pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, uses ISO VG 32 lubricant, has a 60 cc drain bowl and a 98 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1020 g.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to the GAFC300N08ASK. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol, and the valve is part of the ordering code, so it is included with the unit as supplied.
