About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10AS
The GAFC400C10AS is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a T-shaped bracket with quick clamps. With a 3/8" port and 1810 g mass, this size class suits machine headers feeding several actuators. The metal bowl (C code) holds 100 cc for condensate and 185 cc for oil, so service intervals stretch further than on smaller bodies.
Air enters the first body where the 40 um element removes solids and moisture, and the regulator sets pressure from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). The lubricator then adds a metered ISO VG 32 oil mist downstream, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, and the circular gauge reads in MPa/psi on the default PT thread.

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 GAFC400C10AS Is Used
Machine Tool Header
Feed a 3/8" header on a CNC lathe or milling machine, supplying filtered and regulated air to chuck cylinders and coolant valves with a consistent oil mist for sliding parts.
Assembly Station
Power pneumatic screwdrivers and pick-and-place grippers on an assembly line, where the 40 um element and automatic drain keep the air clean during multi-shift operation.
Packaging Line
Serve a carton erector or strapping machine with stable 0.9 MPa pressure, while the 185 cc oil bowl sustains lubrication for cylinders cycling at high frequency.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10AS the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400C10AS when a 3/8" port and 1810 g mass fit your panel layout. The metal bowl is a build choice for environments where you prefer non-transparent reservoirs; the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies regardless, so confirm the material suits your surroundings. The automatic drain (A) removes condensate continuously, ideal for unattended lines, while the 40 um element handles general shop air. The standard type regulates to 0.9 MPa, and the fitted gauge shows MPa/psi on PT threads. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan inlet pressure near maximum if you need the full regulated 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 GAFC400C10AS FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. The unit weighs 1810 g.
The automatic drain (A code) expels condensate from the 100 cc bowl without manual intervention, which is essential for machines running unattended or in humid conditions. It replaces the semi-auto and manual drains found on blank-drain versions, so no operator needs to check the bowl level during a shift.
