About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SWK
This AirTAC GAFC40010SWK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: the filter and regulator share one body, and a lubricator is mounted beside them on a T-bracket with quick clamps. Air enters the 3/8" port, gets filtered to 5 um, and is regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) before the lubricator adds a metered oil mist as the final step.
The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm, while the 1810 g mass signals a unit that needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support. A circular gauge with an MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the reverse-flow valve is present as specified by the K code.

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 GAFC40010SWK Is Used
Precision Valve Control
Feed a bank of pneumatic valves on a CNC machining center where the 5 um element protects fine spool clearances and the regulated 0.15-0.9 MPa range covers most actuator demands.
Assembly Line Stations
Supply a multi-station assembly fixture with filtered, regulated, and lubricated air for cylinders and grippers, with the 100 cc bowl reducing condensate checks during long production runs.
Test Bench Air Supply
Power a pneumatic test bench with adjustable pressure for checking components, where the gauge lets operators set exact pressures and the lubricator keeps moving parts protected.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC40010SWK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC40010SWK when you need 3/8" porting with a 5 um element for finer filtration. The PC bowl suits standard shop air, and the semi-auto drain dumps condensate on pressure drops while the manual drain gives on-demand control. The gauge reads in MPa/psi per the PT thread, and the K code adds the reverse-flow valve.
For a smaller footprint, the GAFC300 with its 3500 L/min envelope at 0.7 MPa inlet handles lighter duty; step up to the GAFC500 for 3/4" porting and a 7000 L/min envelope. Spare parts are GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. Since the 1.0 MPa max supply sits only about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa regulated top, plan your inlet pressure carefully if you need the full 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 GAFC40010SWK FAQ
The GAFC40010SWK 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). It handles temperatures from -5 to 70 C, uses ISO VG 32 oil, has a 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1810 g.
The K code specifies a reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted to the unit. The catalogue shows this as a separate pneumatic symbol. It is an ordering difference you should note when specifying the unit for your system.
