About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASN
This GAFC40010ASN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. The 3/8in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-size class, needing a proper panel mount rather than tubing support.
Air enters the first body where the 40 um element removes solids and moisture, and the regulator sets pressure to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The lubricator then adds a metered oil mist downstream, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat. The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, while the 185 cc oil bowl extends service intervals.

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 GAFC40010ASN Is Used
CNC spindle lubrication
Feed a 3/8in line to a CNC spindle air system where the 40 um filter protects precision bearings and the lubricator delivers ISO VG 32 oil to the spindle.
Assembly station air prep
Supply a multi-fixture assembly bench where the automatic drain handles condensate from humid plant air and the 185 cc oil bowl keeps pneumatic screwdrivers running between shifts.
Carton erector line
Power a carton-forming machine's cylinders and sensors, with the 100 cc condensate bowl reducing maintenance frequency on a line that runs continuously.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
The GAFC400 body offers 3/8in and 1/2in ports; this 3/8in version suits medium-flow circuits. The PC bowl is the standard build choice - confirm it fits your environment, as the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings. The automatic drain (A) handles wet or unattended lines, while the 40 um element suits general shop air; step to the 5 um version for finer filtration. No gauge is fitted, so the 1/4in gauge connection is available for adding one later. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi scale if you fit a gauge. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure carefully if you need the full 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 GAFC40010ASN FAQ
The GAFC40010ASN operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The 40 um element handles standard shop air.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge later if you need to read the set pressure. The PT thread version accepts a gauge with an MPa/psi scale.
