About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASW
The GAFC40010ASW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination where the filter and regulator share one body, and a lubricator is mounted on the same T-bracket. With a 3/8" port and a 5 um element, this unit cleans and meters air for a medium-sized machine line, operating from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, while the 185 cc oil bowl feeds the lubricator. Weighing 1810 g, this unit suits a fixed panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The circular gauge is fitted and reads in MPa/psi for the 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 GAFC40010ASW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a packaging machine, where the 5 um element protects tight clearances and the regulated pressure holds setpoint for consistent actuation.
Assembly line stations
Supply a multi-station assembly line with cleaned, regulated, and lubricated air. The automatic drain keeps the 100 cc bowl clear during long production runs without manual attention.
Machine tool lubrication
Provide metered oil mist to slide ways or guide rails on a CNC machine, where the 185 cc oil bowl supports extended operation between refills.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010ASW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC40010ASW when your line needs a 3/8" port with the finer 5 um element for precision valves or instrument air. The automatic drain (A) suits unattended or wet lines, and the PC bowl is a standard build choice - confirm it suits your surroundings, as the catalogue gives no material-specific data. The standard type regulates 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the gauge reads MPa/psi on the PT thread. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan a supply 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 GAFC40010ASW FAQ
This unit operates at 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g. The 5 um element is fitted.
The automatic drain (A code) clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, making it suitable for unattended or wet lines. It differs from the blank drain option, which includes both semi-auto and manual drains. The semi-auto type dumps on pressure drop, while the manual type requires a lever.
