About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10ASNW
The GAFC400C10ASNW is an F.R.L. combination built as two pieces on one T-shape bracket: a filter-regulator body and a separate lubricator. The 3/8in port and 1810 g mass put it in the mid-size class, a step up from the 1020 g GAFC300 when a line needs more condensate and oil capacity. Air is filtered and regulated in the first body, then the lubricator adds a controlled oil mist last, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat.
This model carries the metal bowl option and a 5 um element, with an automatic drain and no gauge supplied. The working range is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and the 100 cc condensate bowl plus 185 cc oil bowl set the service rhythm for a machine that runs continuously. The gauge connection is 1/4in if an operator adds one later, and the catalogue flow curve for this body is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet.

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 GAFC400C10ASNW Is Used
Precision valve stations
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a packaging line where the 5 um element keeps fine particles out of pilot orifices and the automatic drain handles condensate without stopping production.
Machine tool lubrication
Supply a CNC machine's way-lubrication and clamping circuits where the 185 cc oil bowl supports a full shift of mist lubrication and the 100 cc condensate bowl reduces drain checks.
Mid-size conveyor drives
Run a multi-section conveyor with several actuators where the 3/8in port and 1810 g body sit between a small jig and a large header, giving enough flow envelope for a bank of cylinders.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10ASNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400C10ASNW when a 3/8in line needs the 100 cc condensate and 185 cc oil bowls of the 400 body, rather than the 60 cc and 98 cc of a GAFC300. The metal bowl is a build choice for the line; the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C does not change with material, so confirm it suits your surroundings. The automatic drain clears condensate without an operator, and the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um for precision valves or instrument air, at the cost of more frequent element service. No gauge is fitted, so set pressure cannot be read without adding one to the 1/4in connection; the PT thread carries a MPa/psi scale if a gauge is added. The two units are orderable separately as the GAFR400-10 filter & regulator and the GAL400-10 lubricator. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the supply near 1.0 MPa if you need the full 0.9 MPa out.
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 GAFC400C10ASNW FAQ
The working pressure range is 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C and it must not freeze. The condensate bowl holds 100 cc and the oil bowl 185 cc, with a total weight of 1810 g. Recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32 or equivalent, and the element grade is 5 um.
The C code specifies a metal bowl, a build choice for the line; the catalogue gives no impact or chemical data, so confirm it suits your surroundings. The N after the port means no gauge is supplied, so the set pressure cannot be read without adding one to the 1/4in gauge connection. The automatic drain (A) clears condensate without an operator, and the 5 um element (W) traps finer particles than the standard 40 um.
