Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10L
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10L 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 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10L
The GAFR400C10L is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, so incoming air is spun to separate liquid water and trap solid particles before a balanced regulator sets a steady outlet pressure. This 3/8in unit carries a metal bowl and a 40 um element, with a working range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) for applications that need a modest, stable pressure.
Weighing 880 g with a 100 cc condensate bowl, this size class suits machine sub-circuits or individual stations rather than whole-plant headers. The pressed-in self-locking knob resists set-pressure drift from vibration, and the circular gauge with clip and magnifier saves panel space while showing the MPa/psi scale.

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 GAFR400C10L Is Used
Precision valve actuation
Feed a bank of small pilot valves on an assembly fixture where a steady 0.15-0.4 MPa signal is required and the 40 um element protects fine orifices from particle wear.
Machine tool coolant lines
Regulate air to a coolant misting nozzle on a CNC lathe, where the metal bowl handles occasional water carryover and the 100 cc capacity extends time between drain checks.
Test bench air supply
Provide filtered, regulated air to a pneumatic test jig that checks leak rates, using the lower pressure range to avoid over-pressurizing sensitive test fixtures.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10L the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body when 3/8in ports and a 100 cc drain bowl match your station's air demand; its flow curve is plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, which is double the 3500 L/min envelope of the smaller GAFR300. The metal bowl is a build choice for the condensate chamber, while the included mounting bracket suits frame or panel attachment, and the 40 um element covers general shop air. This L-type unit tops out at 0.4 MPa, so confirm your actuators never need more; the semi-auto drain plus manual drain are both fitted for routine service. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa regulated ceiling.
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 GAFR400C10L FAQ
The GAFR400C10L is a filter & regulator with a 3/8in port, 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) working range, 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max pressure, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and -5 to 70 C temperature range. It has a 100 cc drain bowl, weighs 880 g, uses a 40 um element, and comes with a metal bowl, mounting bracket, and circular gauge.
The L code designates a lower-pressure regulator, capped at 0.4 MPa instead of the standard 0.9 MPa. This suits applications needing a gentle, stable pressure, but if your machine may ever require more than 0.4 MPa, you would need the standard S-type version of this body.
