About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10ASW
The GAFC400N10ASW is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator, mounted on a shared bracket with quick clamps. Air enters the 3/8" port, gets filtered to 5 um and regulated to 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) in the first body, then the lubricator meters oil mist into the flow last, so oil never travels back through the regulator seat.
This unit carries a 100 cc condensate bowl and a 185 cc oil bowl, with a total mass of 1810 g. The nylon bowl is specified by the N code, and the automatic drain clears condensate without operator intervention. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi on the default PT thread, and the 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um grade for precision applications.

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 GAFC400N10ASW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a packaging line where the 5 um element protects tight clearances and the regulated 0.15-0.9 MPa range holds consistent actuation pressure.
Machine tool lubrication
Supply a multi-spindle drilling station with filtered, regulated air and metered oil mist for slideways and tool changers, with the automatic drain handling condensate from a busy compressor line.
Assembly fixture air
Run a robotic assembly cell's clamping fixtures and pick-and-place actuators from a 3/8" header, where the 185 cc oil bowl keeps lubricated cylinders cycling between scheduled maintenance.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10ASW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
The GAFC400 body suits 3/8" and 1/2" port lines, with this 3/8" version weighing 1810 g and carrying 100 cc and 185 cc bowls. The catalogue flow curve for the GAFC400 is plotted to 6000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, roughly 71% above the GAFC300's 3500 L/min envelope, so step up when a line needs more air. The nylon bowl is a build choice; the shared specification of 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C applies to all bowl materials, so confirm nylon suits your environment. The automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines, and the 5 um element suits precision valves but needs more frequent service than 40 um. The fitted gauge reads in MPa/psi on PT threads, and the two units are orderable separately as GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10. If the line must stay oil-free, choose a plain GAFR instead of this lubricated set. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, there is only about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan supply pressure near 1.0 MPa if you need the full output.
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 GAFC400N10ASW FAQ
This F.R.L. combination operates on air at 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, and the recommended lubricant is ISO VG 32. It has a 100 cc drain bowl and 185 cc oil bowl, weighs 1810 g, and uses a 5 um filter element. The unit has a 3/8" port and a circular gauge reading MPa/psi.
The N immediately after the body digits specifies a nylon bowl, which is the material choice for this unit. The catalogue gives the same 1.0 MPa max pressure and -5 to 70 C temperature range for PC, metal, and nylon bowls, so confirm nylon suits your specific environment. The N does not affect the pressure rating or flow characteristics.
