About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SNW
This GAFC40010SNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body handles filtration and pressure setting, then a separate lubricator adds a metered oil mist downstream. With a 3/8in port and 1810 g mass, it suits mid-size machine stations where a compact footprint still needs real condensate capacity.
The unit works in the standard 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) band and uses a 5 um element for finer particle removal than the standard 40 um grade. The 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl mean fewer service visits on a busy line. No gauge is supplied, so the 1/4in gauge connection must be fitted if you need to read outlet 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 GAFC40010SNW Is Used
CNC coolant valves
Feed a 3/8in line to coolant solenoid valves on a small CNC lathe, where the 5 um element protects fine orifices from particle wear.
Carton erector cylinders
Power the folding and glue-application cylinders on a carton erector, with the 185 cc oil bowl keeping cycle times consistent between top-ups.
Assembly station air manifolds
Supply a multi-fixture assembly bench where the 100 cc drain bowl captures condensate from a humid plant line, reducing manual purging frequency.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400 body when a 3/8in port and 1810 g weight fit your panel layout, and the 6000 L/min plotted flow curve at 0.7 MPa inlet gives enough margin for your duty point. The PC bowl is the standard build; confirm it suits your environment since the catalogue lists no material-specific ratings. This model has the semi-auto drain that dumps on pressure drop plus a manual drain for on-demand use, and the 5 um element trades finer filtration for more frequent service. The PT thread carries a MPa/psi gauge scale, though no gauge is included here - the 1/4in connection is ready for one. For oil-free lines, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan inlet pressure near the maximum 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 GAFC40010SNW FAQ
The GAFC40010SNW operates from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum supply of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in -5 to 70 C temperatures and uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc, with a total unit weight of 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no pressure gauge is supplied with this unit. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge later if needed. The PT thread version would read in MPa and psi if a gauge were fitted.
