About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010S
The GAFC40010S is an F.R.L. combination that pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-shape bracket, so the air is cleaned and set to pressure in one body before a metered oil mist is added downstream. With a 3/8in port and a 1810 g mass, this size class suits machine headers and multi-actuator stations where a lighter 1020 g GAFC300 would be undersized.
The standard pressure range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the 40 um element handles typical workshop air. The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl are the real service interval drivers, and the semi-auto drain dumps on each pressure drop while the manual drain gives on-demand control. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa and psi.

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 GAFC40010S Is Used
Precision valve manifolds
Feed a bank of 3/8in solenoid valves on a stamping press with regulated air at a stable 0.6 MPa (87 psi) setpoint, relying on the 40 um element to protect fine spools.
Machine tool coolant systems
Supply a CNC lathe's pneumatic coolant pump and door actuators, where the 185 cc oil bowl keeps the lubricator filled across a full shift without frequent topping.
Assembly line pick-and-place
Power a multi-axis pick-and-place gantry on an electronics assembly line, using the semi-auto drain to clear condensate at each pressure drop and the manual drain for scheduled maintenance.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010S the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC40010S when a 3/8in port and the 1810 g body class match your flow demand; the catalogue flow curve for this body is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, roughly 70% above the GAFC300's 3500 L/min envelope. The PC bowl is the standard build, and the semi-auto plus manual drain pair suits attended lines where an operator is present. The 40 um element is the default; step to the W code for 5 um if you feed precision valves, accepting more frequent element service. The PT thread carries a gauge scaled in MPa/psi, so operators read the setpoint directly. Spares are orderable as the GAFR400-10 filter & regulator and the GAL400-10 lubricator, both with the same body-port suffix. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the inlet pressure accordingly 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 GAFC40010S FAQ
The GAFC40010S operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. It has a 100 cc condensate bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses a 40 um element.
The GAFC40010S ships with both a semi-auto and a manual drain. The semi-auto drain automatically expels condensate each time the air pressure drops, while the manual drain lets an operator empty the 100 cc bowl on demand. This combination suits attended lines where you want automatic clearing during shutdowns plus manual control during service.
