Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S 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 40 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S
The GAFR300C08S is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so the incoming air is cleaned and then set to a stable outlet pressure without a separate filter and regulator train. This 1/4in unit works across 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 40 um element to trap solid particles.
Its metal bowl holds 60 cc of condensate, and the unit weighs 500 g, placing it in the mid-size class for shop air lines. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration, while the diversion structure spins the flow to separate liquid water and solids into the bowl.

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 GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S Is Used
Jig and fixture supply
Feed a single pneumatic jig or clamping fixture on an assembly bench, where stable pressure keeps holding force consistent.
Machine tool air prep
Protect a small machine tool's solenoid valves and cylinders from water and particulates in the supply air.
Light automation cells
Supply a compact automation cell with filtered, regulated air for actuators and sensors on a short line.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose GAFR300 when 1/4in or 3/8in ports fit your line; the 500 g body suits a fixed panel or frame mount rather than tubing support. The metal bowl is a build choice for the environment, and the 40 um element handles general shop air, while the 5 um option (W) traps finer particles for precision use. This model includes the mounting bracket and a circular gauge with MPa/psi scale, with a semi-auto plus manual drain for routine checks. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC300-08 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (1/4" 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
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 60 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 500 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
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 GAFC300-08 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300C08S FAQ
The GAFR300C08S works over 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), with a 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum and 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 60 cc drain bowl, and weighs 500 g.
The metal bowl is a build and environment choice, while the PC and nylon bowls are alternatives. All bowl materials share the same 1.0 MPa maximum pressure and -5 to 70 C temperature range, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings.
