The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR200C08ALWK is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 1/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.
The GAFR200C08ALWK is a filter and pressure regulator combined in a single body, so one compact unit cleans the air and sets a steady outlet pressure. This model uses a 1/4in port, a 5 um element, and a metal bowl, with a lower-pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi).
A diversion structure spins the incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the 25 cc drain bowl, while the balanced regulator holds the set pressure as supply varies. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists drift from vibration, and the automatic drain clears condensate without manual attention.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. The fitted circular gauge reads in MPa / psi, set by the PT thread code. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

The filter and the regulator are ONE body here — there is no separate GAF filter or GAR regulator part to assemble. Need lubrication downstream too? Add a lubricator by ordering the matching GAFC200-08 F.R.L. combination instead.
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.

Feed a single pneumatic valve or small actuator on a benchtop assembly fixture, where the 5 um element protects fine internals and the lower pressure range prevents over-stroking.
Mount this 290 g unit on a small panel or frame to supply a dedicated air line for a pick-and-place gripper, using the included bracket for secure installation.
Use the 5 um filtration to protect sensitive laboratory instruments or gauges, with the automatic drain keeping the 25 cc bowl clear in low-usage applications.
Choose the body and port first: the GAFR200 with a 1/4in port suits small jigs or single actuators, while the GAFR300 at 3/8in offers a 60 cc bowl and a flow curve plotted to 3500 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet for slightly larger lines. The metal bowl here is a build choice with the same 1.0 MPa max and -5 to 70 C rating as PC or nylon, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. This model has the automatic drain for unattended operation, the lower-pressure type capped at 0.4 MPa, the mounting bracket included, a fitted gauge with MPa/psi scale, and the reverse-flow valve as an ordering difference. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC200-08 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated range.
Quick checklist
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC200-08 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
The GAFR200C08ALWK operates from 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). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C, the drain bowl holds 25 cc, and the unit weighs 290 g. The 5 um element filters solids, and the automatic drain clears condensate.
The L type is capped at 0.4 MPa for applications needing gentle, consistent pressure, while the metal bowl is a build choice rated to the same 1.0 MPa max as PC or nylon. This unit also includes the reverse-flow valve as an ordering difference, and the automatic drain suits wet or unattended lines.
