Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10SW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10SW 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 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10SW
This AirTAC unit combines a filter-regulator with a lubricator on a single T-bracket, so the air is cleaned, set to pressure, then oil-misted in one pass. The GAFC400N10SW uses a 3/8in port and a nylon bowl, with a working range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and a 5 um filter element for finer particle removal.
The two-piece design means the filter and regulator share one body, leaving fewer joints to seal compared to a three-piece train. With a 100 cc condensate bowl and 185 cc oil bowl, this 1810 g unit suits medium-duty lines where the 5 um element protects sensitive valves downstream.

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 GAFC400N10SW Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a bank of precision pneumatic valves on a CNC machine, where the 5 um element protects fine internal passages from wear.
Assembly line tooling
Power multi-fixture clamping stations on an assembly line, where the 100 cc bowl reduces how often an operator must check condensate.
Packaging machine actuation
Drive film-sealing cylinders on a packaging line, where the nylon bowl offers a lightweight build and the 185 cc oil bowl keeps lubrication consistent.
Is the Airtac GAFC Air Service Unit GAFC400N10SW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFC400N10SW when you need a 3/8in port with a 5 um element and a nylon bowl. The semi-auto drain dumps condensate on pressure drop, while the manual drain gives on-demand control. A circular gauge is fitted, reading MPa/psi for the PT thread. The lubricator adds oil mist last, so if the line must stay oil-free, select a plain GAFR filter-regulator instead. Spares are GAFR400-10 and GAL400-10, both orderable separately.
With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa of headroom above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range, so plan the supply pressure carefully 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 GAFC400N10SW FAQ
It operates on air with a 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) range, max pressure 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and -5 to 70 C temperature range. The drain bowl holds 100 cc, oil bowl 185 cc, weight is 1810 g, and it uses ISO VG 32 lubricant.
The N code specifies a nylon bowl, which is a build choice for the housing. The common specification (1.0 MPa max, -5 to 70 C) is identical across PC, metal, and nylon bowls, so confirm the material suits your environment rather than assuming added toughness.
