The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC300N08LNW 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 1/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).
This GAFC300 F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator body with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket, so the air is cleaned, set to a lower pressure, then oil-misted in the last stage. With a 1/4in port and a 5 um element, it suits precision circuits where fine filtration matters more than high flow.
The lower-pressure regulator tops out at 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and the 60 cc condensate bowl plus 98 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm. At 1020 g, it needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support. The nylon bowl is specified by the N code, and the catalogue gives no material-specific durability data, so confirm it suits your environment before ordering.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR300-08 filter & regulator, GAL300-08 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 pneumatic screwdriver or torque tool on an assembly bench where the supply is 0.4 MPa and fine particle control protects the tool's internal vanes.
Supply a small laboratory fixture or test jig that runs on regulated low pressure, with the 5 um element keeping instrument-grade air clean.
Run a single small-bore cylinder or a compact indexing table where the lower pressure range matches the actuator's rating and the 60 cc bowl handles light condensate loads.
Choose the GAFC300N08LNW when your line needs 1/4in ports and a regulated ceiling of 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) - below that, the Standard S type offers 0.15-0.9 MPa if you might ever need more. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, at the cost of more frequent element service. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate on each pressure drop, while the manual drain gives on-demand control. No gauge is fitted, so the set pressure cannot be read without adding one to the 1/8in gauge connection. The nylon bowl is a build choice, not a performance upgrade; the common specification applies to all bowl materials. Spares are orderable as GAFR300-08 and GAL300-08. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so the regulator has ample inlet headroom for stable lower-pressure output.
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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
The working pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. 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 1/4in port.
The N after the port code means no pressure gauge is supplied. The gauge connection on the GAFC300 body is 1/8in, so you can add a gauge later if needed. Without one, the set pressure cannot be read directly on the unit, so plan to add a gauge if operators need to verify the 0.15-0.4 MPa setting.
