About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010AL
This AirTAC GAFC40010AL is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: the filter and regulator share one body, and the lubricator is mounted beside them on a T-bracket with quick clamps. Air is cleaned and set to pressure first, then a metered oil mist is added last, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat. The 3/8in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-size class, needing a proper panel mount rather than support from the tubing.
The lower-pressure type regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), which suits machines that never need more than 58 psi at the actuator. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm, and the automatic drain clears water without an operator. The 40 um element handles general workshop air, and the fitted circular gauge reads in MPa and psi for the default PT thread.

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 GAFC40010AL Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of 3/2-way solenoid valves on a small assembly station, where the 0.4 MPa ceiling prevents overdriving delicate pneumatic actuators.
Carton sealing line
Supply a tape-dispensing head on a packaging line, where the automatic drain keeps condensate out of the mechanism during long unattended shifts.
Lab air bench
Run a test fixture with air bearings or small cylinders, where the lower pressure range protects sensitive components and the oil mist keeps sliding parts lubricated.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010AL the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC40010AL when your line runs at 3/8in and you need regulated air below 0.4 MPa (58 psi). The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so if the machine may ever require more pressure, step to the standard S type instead. The automatic drain is the right call for unattended equipment or wet compressor lines, and the PC bowl suits clean indoor environments - confirm it matches your surroundings, as the catalogue gives no chemical or impact data. The 40 um element is the standard grade; select the W option for 5 um filtration if you feed precision valves. The PT thread carries a circular gauge with an MPa/psi scale, and the two units are orderable separately as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. 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
- ✓ 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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 1810 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 GAFR400-10 filter-regulator on that branch instead of the full combination.
Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010AL FAQ
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 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc, the unit weighs 1810 g, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32 or equivalent.
The L code specifies the lower-pressure type, which regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) instead of the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa range. This suits applications with sensitive components that must never see high pressure, but if your machine may need more than 58 psi, choose the standard S type instead.
