Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08ALNK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08ALNK 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08ALNK
The GAFR300N08ALNK is a filter and regulator combined in one body, with a nylon bowl and a 1/4in port. It handles a lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 40 um element to trap solids.
This unit spins incoming air to separate liquid water and particles into its 60 cc drain bowl, while the balanced regulator holds the outlet steady 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. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFR300 is 1/8" if you add one. 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 GAFC300-08 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.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08ALNK Is Used
Precision valve control
Feed a single precision valve or small instrument loop where a stable 0.15-0.4 MPa supply is required and the 40 um element protects sensitive internals.
Bench test rigs
Mount on a test bench or panel to supply a regulated air signal to fixtures, with the automatic drain reducing maintenance during long test cycles.
Compact machine stations
Install on a small assembly station or single actuator line where the 1/4in port and 500 g weight fit tight spaces and the nylon bowl offers a lightweight build.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR300N08ALNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR300 for 1/4in lines where a compact 500 g unit with a 60 cc bowl fits the space. The nylon bowl suits applications where a non-metallic build is preferred, and the automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines. The L-type regulator tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm the machine never needs more than that. The bracket is included, the gauge is omitted (the 1/8in connection is ready for a later add-on), and the reverse-flow valve is fitted as an ordering difference. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC300-08 combination instead. Max supply 1.0 MPa leaves about 0.6 MPa above the 0.4 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 GAFR300N08ALNK FAQ
Working pressure range is 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), max pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 60 cc, the unit weighs 500 g, and the flow curve is plotted to 3500 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet.
The N after the port code means no gauge is supplied; the 1/8in gauge connection is available if you add one later. The K code indicates the reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which is an ordering difference from standard models.
