About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10ALW
This AirTAC F.R.L. combination pairs a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air is cleaned, set to pressure, and then oil-misted in one compact line. The GAFC400 body uses a 3/8" port and weighs 1810 g, placing it in the mid-range class where a panel or frame mount is expected rather than support from the tubing.
The lower-pressure regulator operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), which suits machines with a modest pressure ceiling. A 5 um element traps fine particles for sensitive valves, while the metal bowl and automatic drain handle condensate without an operator. The circular gauge reads in MPa and psi, and the 100 cc drain bowl plus 185 cc oil bowl define the service rhythm.

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 GAFC400C10ALW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of fine pneumatic valves on a small assembly machine where the 5 um element protects sensitive internal clearances and the lower pressure range prevents over-pressuring delicate actuators.
Wet line condensate
Install on a packaging line with a wet air supply; the automatic drain clears the 100 cc bowl without an operator, while the metal bowl suits a floor-level position where impacts are possible.
Low-pressure test rig
Use on a bench test station that checks components at 0.3 MPa; the 0.15-0.4 MPa band gives fine adjustment and the gauge confirms the setpoint for each test run.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10ALW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400C10ALW when your line needs 3/8" ports and a regulated band capped at 0.4 MPa. The metal bowl is specified by the C code, and the automatic drain clears water without manual attention, which suits wet or unattended air supplies. The 5 um element filters finer than the standard 40 um grade, but expect to service it more often. The PT thread carries a gauge scale in MPa and psi, so operators read the setpoint directly on the fitted circular gauge. For a higher pressure ceiling, step to the standard S type; for oil-free downstream air, omit the lubricator and select a GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead. Spare parts are the GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, both orderable 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 GAFC400C10ALW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates from 0.15 to 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 the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses a 5 um filter element.
The C in the model code specifies a metal bowl, which is a build choice for the unit's surroundings. The catalogue gives the same 1.0 MPa max pressure and -5 to 70 C temperature range for all bowl materials, so confirm the metal bowl suits your environment. The automatic drain (A) clears condensate without manual intervention.
