Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SN 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SN
This GAFC400C10SN is an F.R.L. combination where the filter and regulator share one body, paired with a lubricator on a T-bracket. It handles a 3/8in port, regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and filters at 40 um. The metal bowl is specified by the C code, and the semi-auto plus manual drain handles condensate without an operator.
The 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl mean fewer service stops on a mid-size line. Weighing 1810 g, it needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support. Since no gauge is supplied, the 1/4in gauge connection is available for adding one later. The lubricator adds oil mist last, so the regulator seat stays dry.

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 GAFC400C10SN Is Used
CNC coolant valves
Feed a 3/8in line to coolant solenoid valves on a CNC lathe, where regulated 0.15-0.9 MPa air actuates clamping and coolant control without frequent bowl attention.
Assembly station headers
Supply a multi-fixture assembly bench with filtered, regulated air and metered oil mist for pneumatic screwdrivers and push cylinders, using the 185 cc oil bowl for longer runs.
Packaging line actuators
Run a case-packing station's guide rails and stop cylinders from this unit, relying on the 100 cc condensate bowl to handle moisture from a humid plant air supply.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400C10SN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400C10SN when a 3/8in port and a 1810 g body suit your line. The metal bowl is a build choice, not a specification change - the 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating stay the same across materials, so confirm it fits your surroundings. The semi-auto drain dumps on pressure drop, while the manual drain works on demand. With no gauge fitted, use the 1/4in connection if you need to read set pressure. The 40 um element handles standard shop air; step to the 5 um W option for finer filtration. Spares are GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, both orderable separately. The catalogue flow curve plots to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet for sizing. Max supply of 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated 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 GAFC400C10SN FAQ
This F.R.L. combination works with air, filters at 40 um, and regulates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). Max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). 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 lubricant.
The C code specifies a metal bowl, which is a material choice - the pressure and temperature ratings stay the same as PC or nylon. The N after the port means no gauge is supplied, so the 1/4in gauge connection is left open for adding one. The semi-auto drain and manual drain are both fitted for condensate removal.
