Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ
The AirTAC Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ is a genuine compressed-air pressure regulator. It sets and holds a steady downstream pressure across the 0.05 - 0.4 MPa range, with 1/4" ports and a built-in circular pressure gauge. It regulates pressure only — it does not filter the air or remove water.

About the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ
The GAR20008LJ is an air pressure regulator that takes a higher supply and holds a steady lower downstream pressure you set with its knob. It does not filter or clean the air, and it has no drain bowl or filter element. This unit carries a circular gauge with a clip and magnifier, so it mounts close to the panel while staying easy to read.
This model uses a 1/4in port on the 170 g GAR200 body, placing it in the smallest size class of the GAR range. It is the lower-pressure L type, regulating from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi), which suits low-pressure circuits that need finer adjustment within that band. The pressed-in self-locking knob keeps the setpoint from drifting when the machine vibrates.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAR catalogue (pages 228-229). This is a regulator only — it sets and holds a downstream pressure but does not filter the air or separate water. To clean the air as well, use the matching GAFR200 filter-regulator or add a GAF filter upstream. Never run above the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.

A GAR regulates pressure but does not filter — there is no bowl, element or drain code. Need to clean the air too? The matching GAFR200-08 is the same regulator with a built-in filter.

All bodies share the same 0.05-0.9 MPa (S) regulated range, 1.0 MPa max and 1.5 MPa proof; the body number sets the port size and the flow the regulator can pass. Bigger ports feed higher air demand. The catalogue plots a flow curve at 0.7 MPa inlet but prints no numeric envelope, so size by port and weight and confirm the curve for a real duty point.

Where the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ Is Used
Low-pressure clamping
Set a gentle, repeatable clamp force on a small fixture or work-holder. The L type's finer low-band adjustment lets you dial in a precise pressure without overshooting.
Lab air bench
Feed a sensitive lab instrument or test rig that needs a stable low supply. The balanced design holds the setpoint as the shop supply fluctuates.
Single tool station
Protect a blowgun or a small air tool from supply swings. The self-locking knob keeps your pressure setting steady through a shift of vibration.
Is the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ the Right Regulator?
Choose the GAR20008LJ when your line needs a compact 1/4in regulator with a low 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi) range. The L type gives finer resolution over that low band but cannot reach a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint, so it is the wrong part for a standard machine. This code omits the mounting bracket (J), so plan for panel mounting or an existing bracket. The gauge is fitted and reads MPa/psi on the PT thread. If the air also needs cleaning, use a GAFR200-08 or a separate GAF filter upstream, since this unit only regulates. The S type's 0.05-0.9 MPa band is about 2.4x the span of this L type's 0.05-0.4 MPa band.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your air demand (1/4" here)
- ✓ Type S (0.05-0.9) or L (0.05-0.4 MPa)
- ✓ Gauge fitted, or no gauge (N)
- ✓ Thread PT / G / NPT (sets gauge scale)
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J)
- ✓ Need filtration too? Use GAFR200
Installation & Setting Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, knob accessible.
- check Put a filter (GAF or a GAFR) UPSTREAM — a regulator does not clean the air.
- check Set pressure by turning the knob up to the target, then press it in to lock.
- check Keep supply at or below the 1.0 MPa (145 psi) max working pressure.
- check Never exceed the 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
- check Support the 170 g unit on its panel or bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a regulator only — it sets and holds pressure but does not filter or lubricate. Add a GAF filter, a GAL lubricator, or step up to the GAFR200-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LJ FAQ
The GAR20008LJ regulates air from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi). Maximum supply pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -20 to 70 C and weighs 170 g with a 1/4in port.
The J in the code means the mounting bracket is omitted, so you need a panel mount or an existing bracket. The L type regulates only 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi), giving finer control over that low band but no ability to reach a standard 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint.
