About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SK
This GAFC400C10SK is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a T bracket. The 3/8in port and 1810 g mass put it in the mid-size class, where the 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl mean fewer service visits than smaller bodies. It regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a 40 um element.
The metal bowl is specified by the C code; the catalogue gives no impact or chemical data, so confirm it suits your surroundings. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi on the default PT thread. The reverse-flow (reflux) valve is included, shown as a separate symbol in the catalogue. Air is filtered and set to pressure first, then oil mist is added last, so oil never passes back through the regulator seat.

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 GAFC400C10SK Is Used
Precision machining center
Feed a 3/8in line to a CNC spindle air cylinder, where the 40 um element protects the valve and the metal bowl handles shop-floor conditions.
Assembly station
Supply a multi-fixture workbench with regulated air at 0.15-0.9 MPa, using the 185 cc oil bowl to keep pneumatic screwdrivers lubricated through a shift.
Test rig
Set up a bench test for actuators, reading the set pressure on the circular gauge and relying on the semi-auto drain to clear condensate between runs.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400C10SK when a 3/8in port and a 1810 g body fit your panel layout. The metal bowl is a build choice, not a performance upgrade, since the 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C range apply to all bowl materials. The semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop and the manual drain works on demand, so this unit suits attended lines. The 40 um element is the standard grade; step to the 5 um W option for finer filtration. The PT thread carries a MPa/psi gauge scale, matching the default. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, so a worn part does not scrap the whole assembly. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa regulated top, so plan the inlet pressure accordingly.
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 GAFC400C10SK FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates from 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). The temperature range is -5 to 70 C. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses ISO VG 32 or equivalent lubricant.
The K code means a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted. The catalogue draws this as a separate pneumatic symbol, and its details are covered on a dedicated page. This model also has a metal bowl (C), a semi-auto plus manual drain, and a circular gauge reading MPa/psi.
