Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10LNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10LNW is a genuine two-piece F.R.L. combination — a GA-series filter & regulator and a lubricator pre-assembled on one T-shape bracket with quick mounting clamps. It has 3/8" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10LNW
This AirTAC GAFC400C10LNW is an F.R.L. combination built as two units on one bracket: the filter and regulator share a single body, with the lubricator mounted downstream. The 3/8in port size and 1810 g mass place it in the mid-range class, where the 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl reduce how often the unit needs attention. It regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and the 5 um element traps finer particles for sensitive equipment.
The metal bowl is specified by the C code, and the shared specification of 1.0 MPa maximum pressure and -5 to 70 C operation applies regardless of bowl material. With the N code, no gauge is supplied; the 1/4in gauge connection on the GAFC400 body allows one to be added later. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate when pressure drops, while the manual drain offers on-demand release.

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 GAFC400C10LNW Is Used
Precision Machining
Feed a 3/8in line to a CNC tool changer or a precision grinding spindle, where the 5 um element protects sensitive valves and the lower pressure range prevents over-pressurizing delicate actuators.
Packaging Equipment
Use on a carton erector or a label applicator that runs on regulated air below 0.4 MPa, where the 185 cc oil bowl keeps the lubricator running longer between refills.
Assembly Stations
Mount on a multi-station assembly bench with 3/8in drops, where the 100 cc condensate bowl and semi-auto drain handle moisture from a humid plant air supply.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10LNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400C10LNW when your line needs 3/8in ports and a lower regulated ceiling of 0.4 MPa. The metal bowl is a build choice; confirm it suits your environment, as the catalogue provides no material-specific ratings. The 5 um element suits precision valves or instrument air, but expect more frequent element service than a 40 um unit. The semi-auto and manual drains are both fitted, and the PT thread carries a gauge scale of MPa/psi if you add a gauge later. For oil-free air downstream, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR400-10 filter-regulator instead. Spare parts are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of this unit's 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 GAFC400C10LNW FAQ
It operates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a maximum 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 it uses ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied with this unit. The GAFC400 body has a 1/4in gauge connection, so you can add a circular gauge later if you need to read the set pressure. The PT thread on this model uses an MPa/psi scale for any gauge you install.
