About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10AL
This AirTAC GAFC400N10AL 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 and delivers a lower pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 40 um element filtering the air.
The automatic drain clears condensate from the 100 cc bowl without an operator, while the 185 cc oil bowl feeds the lubricator. The nylon bowl is a build choice; the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies, so confirm it suits your environment. The circular gauge reads in MPa/psi.

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 GAFC400N10AL Is Used
Precision Pressure Setting
Use it to feed a precision grinding spindle where the lower pressure range prevents over-pressurizing delicate air bearings, with the gauge confirming the exact setpoint.
Automated Assembly Station
In a small assembly cell, this unit preps air for pneumatic actuators and a vacuum generator, with the automatic drain handling condensate from a humid compressor line.
Packaging Machine Air Prep
On a carton-sealing machine, it filters and lubricates the air for cylinders and valves, while the lower pressure range protects sensitive film-handling grippers from excessive force.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10AL the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400N10AL when your circuit needs a 3/8in port and a regulated output capped at 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). The nylon bowl is specified by the N before the port code; the catalogue gives no material-specific ratings, so verify it for your surroundings. The automatic drain (A) suits unattended lines, and the 40 um element handles general workshop air. The gauge is fitted with an MPa/psi scale for the PT thread. If the line must stay oil-free, omit the lubricator and select a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. Spares are orderable as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. The 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 MPa top of the 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 GAFC400N10AL FAQ
The GAFC400N10AL is an F.R.L. combination with a 3/8in port, operating at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi). Max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It has a 100 cc drain bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and works in -5 to 70 C. Use ISO VG 32 oil in the lubricator.
The L type regulates to a maximum of 0.4 MPa (58 psi), about 44% of the standard type's 0.9 MPa ceiling. If your machine may ever need more than 0.4 MPa, the standard type is the correct choice. This model also has an automatic drain and a nylon bowl.
