Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010SN
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010SN 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 3/8" 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 GAFR40010SN
The GAFR40010SN is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, handling both filtration and pressure control in one compact unit. It serves a 3/8in port with a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and a 40 um filter element.
This model ships with a 100 cc condensate bowl and a semi-auto plus manual drain, weighing 880 g. The balanced regulator mechanism holds the outlet steady as supply pressure varies, and the diversion structure spins air to separate liquid water and solid particles into the bowl.

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 GAFR400 is 1/4" 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 GAFC400-10 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 GAFR40010SN Is Used
Machine tool circuits
Feed a precision machining fixture with clean, regulated air at a steady 0.15-0.9 MPa, using the 40 um element to protect sensitive valves.
Assembly line stations
Supply a single assembly station with filtered air and a set pressure, relying on the 100 cc bowl to collect condensate between shifts.
Test rigs
Power a pneumatic test rig that needs a stable regulated supply, with the semi-auto drain allowing quick manual purging of collected water.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010SN the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body for medium-flow lines needing a 3/8in port and a 100 cc drain bowl. The PC bowl suits general industrial use, while the included mounting bracket simplifies installation. This unit has a semi-auto drain with manual override, a standard pressure type, and no gauge, so the 1/4in gauge connection is available if you add one later. The 40 um element handles standard filtration needs, and PT threads are fitted. If downstream lubrication is required, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. Note that the 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 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
- ✓ 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 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 880 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 GAFC400-10 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR40010SN FAQ
The GAFR40010SN operates from 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It handles temperatures from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g.
The N code means no gauge is supplied, leaving a 1/4in gauge connection for adding one later. You cannot read the set pressure without installing a separate gauge, so plan to add one if you need to monitor outlet pressure.
