Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SJ 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 GAFR400C10SJ
The GAFR400C10SJ is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate units. This 3/8in model handles a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 40 um element to trap solid particles.
Its metal bowl provides a 100 cc condensate capacity, and the unit weighs 880 g. The integrated circular gauge with MPa/psi scale allows direct pressure monitoring, while the pressed-in self-locking knob maintains the set point against vibration.

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 GAFR400C10SJ Is Used
Machine Tool Regulation
Feed a precision machining fixture with stable 0.15-0.9 MPa air, using the metal bowl to handle occasional water slugs from the compressor.
Assembly Station Supply
Power pneumatic screwdrivers and small actuators on an assembly line, with the 100 cc bowl reducing drain frequency during a shift.
Test Bench Setup
Provide clean, regulated air to a prototype test bench where the 3/8in port matches common manifold fittings and the gauge allows quick setpoint changes.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SJ the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 body for 3/8in port lines needing a 100 cc drain bowl and 880 g build. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, while the semi-auto+manual drain requires periodic attention. The standard S type covers 0.15-0.9 MPa, and this J version omits the mounting bracket for panel installation. The fitted gauge reads MPa/psi, and the 40 um element handles general filtration needs.
A 1.0 MPa max supply leaves about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the range, so plan inlet pressure near 1.0 MPa for full output.
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 GAFR400C10SJ FAQ
Working pressure is 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), max pressure 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Temperature range is -5 to 70 C. The drain bowl holds 100 cc and the unit weighs 880 g.
The J code omits the standard bracket for installations using an existing panel mount or frame. This saves space and weight when the unit is secured directly to a machine structure rather than supported by tubing.
