Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10LN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10LN 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10LN
This AirTAC GAFC400N10LN is a two-piece F.R.L. combination: a filter-regulator body paired with a lubricator on a shared T-bracket. With a 3/8in port and a 1810 g mass, it sits in the mid-range of the GAFC family, sized for a machine header feeding several actuators. The lower-pressure version regulates from 0.15 to 0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), and the 40 um element handles standard shop air.
The nylon bowl holds 100 cc of condensate, while the separate oil bowl holds 185 cc, so the service interval is set by how wet the line is and how much oil the downstream tools consume. Because no gauge is fitted, the gauge connection on this body is 1/4in if you add one later. The filter and regulator share one body, which means one less inter-unit joint to seal compared with a three-piece train.

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 GAFC400N10LN Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a small assembly station, where the 0.15-0.4 MPa range gives fine pressure control for delicate actuation.
Machine tool lubrication
Supply a controlled oil mist to a multi-spindle drilling head, where the 185 cc oil bowl supports extended runs between refills.
Test rig air supply
Provide regulated, lubricated air to a laboratory test fixture that cycles a cylinder at low pressure, with the 100 cc drain bowl capturing condensate.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10LN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400N10LN when your line needs a 3/8in port and a regulated ceiling of 0.4 MPa, not the 0.9 MPa of the standard type. The nylon bowl is a build choice, but the catalogue gives no impact or chemical data, so confirm it suits your surroundings. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate each time pressure drops, with a manual drain for on-demand use. A 40 um element is fitted; the W option upgrades to 5 um for finer filtration. The PT thread carries a gauge scale in MPa/psi, but this model ships without a gauge. The two spares are GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, both orderable separately. If the line must stay oil-free, leave the lubricator out and choose a plain GAFR instead. A 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 GAFC400N10LN FAQ
The GAFC400N10LN operates at 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It works in temperatures from -5 to 70 C and requires ISO VG 32 lubricant. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, the oil bowl holds 185 cc, and the unit weighs 1810 g.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied with this unit. The gauge connection on the GAFC400 body is 1/4in, so you can add a gauge there if you need to read the set pressure. The bowl material is nylon, which is a separate code position before the port.
