About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASNW
This AirTAC GAFC40010ASNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared T-bracket with quick clamps. The 3/8in port and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-size class, suited to a machine header or a small multi-station line rather than a single actuator.
The filter-regulator stage cleans the air and sets pressure to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream. A 5 um element traps fine particles for sensitive valves. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, and the 100 cc drain bowl plus 185 cc oil bowl define the service interval.

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 GAFC40010ASNW Is Used
CNC coolant valves
Feed a 3/8in line to solenoid valves on a CNC lathe's coolant system. The 5 um element protects fine orifices, and the automatic drain keeps the bowl clear during long unattended runs.
Assembly station headers
Supply a multi-station assembly bench where each station has a small actuator. The 185 cc oil bowl supports several lubricated tools between refills, and the 1810 g unit mounts securely on a frame.
Packaging machine air prep
Prepare air for a carton erector's pneumatic cylinders and grippers. The 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers typical setpoints, while the 100 cc condensate bowl reduces maintenance frequency on a busy line.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 body when a 3/8in port with a 6000 L/min flow envelope (plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet) suits your line. The A code specifies an automatic drain, so no manual attention is needed for condensate. The N after the port means no gauge is fitted; the 1/4in gauge connection allows adding one later. The 5 um element filters finer than the standard 40 um, but expect more frequent element service. PT threads carry a MPa/psi gauge scale if a gauge is added. The two units are separately orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, so a worn element or damaged bowl does not force a full replacement. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead. Max supply of 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure carefully if you need the full band.
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 GAFC40010ASNW FAQ
The GAFC40010ASNW operates from 0.15 to 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). It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures and needs ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g. It has a 3/8in port and uses a 5 um filter element.
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 compatible gauge later. Without one, the set pressure cannot be read directly on the unit, so plan to install a gauge if operators need to verify the outlet setting.
