Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SNK
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SNK 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 GAFR400C10SNK
The GAFR400C10SNK is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate units. It cleans incoming air through a diversion structure that spins out liquid water and solid particles, then delivers a steady outlet pressure via a balanced, self-locking regulator. This model has a 3/8in port, a 40 um element, and a working range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi).
Its metal bowl holds 100 cc of condensate, and the unit weighs 880 g, making it a substantial component for a machine header. The pressed-in knob resists drift from vibration, keeping the set pressure stable. A reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted as an ordering difference, and the mounting bracket is included.

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 GAFR400C10SNK Is Used
Machine Tool Header
Feed a 3/8in header on a CNC or lathe where the 100 cc bowl handles condensate from a busy shift. The self-locking knob keeps the set pressure steady despite machine vibration.
Assembly Station Air
Supply a multi-station assembly bench with filtered, regulated air. The metal bowl suits a shop floor where accidental impacts are possible, and the 880 g mass needs a solid panel mount.
Test Rig Supply
Provide clean air at a stable pressure for a test fixture. The 40 um element protects sensitive valves, and the manual drain gives an operator a simple daily check.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10SNK the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR400 body for a 3/8in port and a flow envelope plotted to 7000 L/min at 0.7 MPa inlet, a step up from the GAFR300's 3500 L/min. The metal bowl is a build choice; the common pressure and temperature specs are identical across bowl materials, so confirm compatibility for aggressive surroundings. This unit has a semi-auto drain and a manual drain both fitted, a 40 um element, and no gauge, so the 1/4in gauge connection is available if you add one later. The PT thread gives an MPa/psi gauge scale, and the included bracket suits panel mounting. If the line needs oil downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. 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 GAFR400C10SNK FAQ
The GAFR400C10SNK is a filter and regulator with a 3/8in port, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C and must not freeze. The metal drain bowl holds 100 cc, and the unit weighs 880 g.
The 'N' after the port code means no gauge is supplied; the gauge connection is 1/4in if you add one. The 'K' indicates a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is fitted, which is an ordering difference. The unit still has a semi-auto drain and a manual drain, and the mounting bracket is included.
