About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SK
The GAFC40010SK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. Air enters the 3/8" port, gets filtered to 40 um and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), then the lubricator adds a metered oil mist as the final step. A circular gauge with an MPa/psi scale is fitted so the set pressure is readable at a glance.
This 1810 g unit with 100 cc condensate and 185 cc oil bowls suits a medium-duty machine header. The semi-auto drain releases condensate on each pressure drop, while the manual drain gives on-demand control. A reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, and the two units are separately orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR400-10 filter & regulator, GAL400-10 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.

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 GAFC40010SK Is Used
CNC spindle air
Feed a clean, regulated air supply to a CNC spindle air curtain or tool changer mechanism, where the 40 um element and 0.9 MPa top end suit typical machine pressures.
Case packer cylinders
Power the pneumatic cylinders on a case packer's flap-folding station, where the 185 cc oil bowl supports continuous cycling between maintenance windows.
Assembly line headers
Supply a short manifold feeding multiple screwdrivers or nutrunners on an assembly line, with the 100 cc condensate bowl reducing drain checks on humid days.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 for 3/8" port applications where a 1810 g body with 100 cc and 185 cc bowls balances capacity against footprint. The PC bowl is the standard build; the catalogue gives no material-specific data, so confirm it suits your environment. The semi-auto plus manual drain pair handles most duties without an operator. The 40 um element is the default; step to the 5 um version if finer filtration is needed. The PT thread carries an MPa/psi gauge scale. The reverse-flow valve is included on this K model. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and choose a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure accordingly.
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 GAFC40010SK FAQ
The GAFC40010SK operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It handles -5 to 70 C air and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g. The filter element is 40 um.
The K indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol. It is an ordering difference to note; for operational details, confirm from the datasheet.
