Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASK 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 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASK
The GAFC40010ASK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. With a 3/8in port and a 1810 g mass, it suits mid-size machine headers where a full-size 1/2in unit would be overkill. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, and the circular gauge reads in MPa/psi.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 40 um element filtering incoming air. The lubricator adds oil mist last, downstream of the regulator, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat. The separate 185 cc oil bowl means fewer refill stops on a busy line, and the two units are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10.

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 GAFC40010ASK Is Used
CNC spindle lubrication
Feed a 3/8in line to a CNC spindle air-oil lubrication unit. The 40 um element protects the metering valves, while the automatic drain removes condensate from the 100 cc bowl during long unattended runs.
Assembly station air prep
Mount on a panel feeding pneumatic screwdrivers and small actuators at an assembly station. The 185 cc oil bowl keeps lubricant flowing through a full shift, and the gauge lets operators verify set pressure at a glance.
Packaging line cylinder control
Supply a bank of 3/8in-port cylinders on a packaging machine. The regulator holds 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) for consistent cycle times, and the reverse-flow valve is fitted for the specified installation.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC40010ASK when you need 3/8in porting with the convenience of an automatic drain and a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. The PC bowl is the standard build; the catalogue gives no material-specific data, so confirm it suits your environment. The 40 um element handles general shop air, while the 5 um option (W) traps finer particles for precision valves. The PT thread carries a gauge scale of MPa/psi, matching most export operators. If your line must stay oil-free, select a plain GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead of this lubricated set. The spares are GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, both with the same body-port suffix. Max supply of 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan inlet pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need the full regulated output.
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 GAFC40010ASK FAQ
The GAFC40010ASK operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The element grade is 40 um.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted to this unit. The catalogue shows it as a separate pneumatic symbol. The valve is included in the assembly, so no additional ordering is needed for this option.
