About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010LNW
This AirTAC GAFC40010LNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: the filter and regulator share one body, and a lubricator is mounted on the same bracket to add oil mist downstream. It handles a 3/8in port and a lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 5 um element for finer filtration.
The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl give this 1810 g unit a long service interval, so it suits machines that run for full shifts. Since no gauge is fitted, the 1/4in gauge connection is left open for a later add-on if you need to read the set pressure.

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 GAFC40010LNW Is Used
Precision valve actuation
Use this lower-pressure unit to feed a precision pneumatic valve on a packaging line, where the 5 um element protects the valve pilot from fine particles and the regulated 0.4 MPa ceiling matches the valve's low-pressure spec.
Low-pressure machine header
Mount this GAFC400 on a small assembly machine header that runs at 0.3 MPa. The 185 cc oil bowl keeps a single lubricator fed for a full shift, and the 100 cc drain bowl needs only occasional manual dumping.
Instrument air pre-filter
Install this unit upstream of a sensitive pressure switch on a test rig. The 5 um element removes fine solids before the air reaches the switch, while the lower pressure range protects the switch from over-pressure.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010LNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 size class for medium-flow lines where a 3/8in port and 1810 g mass need a proper panel mount. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop while the manual drain works on demand. The L type tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your machine never needs more than that. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, but expect more frequent element service. The PT thread comes with a gauge scale of MPa/psi, though no gauge is supplied here. For spares, order the GAFR400-10 filter-regulator and the GAL400-10 lubricator separately. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the 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 GAFC40010LNW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates at 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and it uses ISO VG 32 oil. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The N in the code means no gauge is supplied, so you cannot read the set pressure directly on the unit. The gauge connection is 1/4in, which is standard for the GAFC400 body, so you can add a gauge later if needed.
