About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10ALNW
This GAFC400N10ALNW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: the filter and regulator share one body, and the lubricator is mounted on a T-bracket with quick clamps. It handles a 3/8in port and operates in the lower-pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a 5 um element for finer filtration.
The nylon bowl holds 100 cc of condensate and the oil bowl holds 185 cc, so the unit runs longer between services. The automatic drain clears water without an operator, and the 1810 g mass means it needs a proper panel mount rather than tubing support. No gauge is fitted; the 1/4in gauge connection is ready for one if you add it later.

Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GAFR400-10 filter & regulator, GAL400-10 lubricator — both share this body and port. A GAFC has two units, not three: the filter and the regulator are one body.

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 GAFC400N10ALNW Is Used
Low-Pressure Assembly Tools
Feed a pneumatic screwdriver or torque tool on an assembly bench where the supply is regulated below 0.4 MPa and the 5 um element keeps wear particles out of the tool's air motor.
Lab Air Supply
Supply a small laboratory fixture or test rig that runs on low-pressure air, where the automatic drain prevents water from reaching sensitive instrumentation and the nylon bowl suits a clean lab environment.
Paint or Coating Lines
Use on a low-pressure paint or coating line where the 3/8in port feeds a spray gun and the 5 um element traps fine particles that could clog the nozzle, with the automatic drain handling condensate.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10ALNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFC400N10ALNW when your circuit stays below 0.4 MPa and you want the finer 5 um element to protect precision valves. The nylon bowl is a build choice, not a performance upgrade, so confirm it suits your environment. The automatic drain suits wet or unattended lines, and the PT thread reads MPa/psi if you fit a gauge.
The filter and regulator are one unit, so the spares are just GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. If the line must stay oil-free, skip the lubricator and order a plain GAFR400-10 instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the range, so set the regulator well below the supply pressure.
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 GAFC400N10ALNW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination works with air at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), with a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, uses ISO VG 32 oil, has a 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl, and weighs 1810 g. The 5 um element filters the air before the lubricator adds oil mist.
The N in the code after the port means no gauge is supplied, so you cannot read the set pressure without adding one. The gauge connection on the GAFC400 body is 1/4in, and the PT thread uses an MPa/psi scale if you fit a compatible gauge.
