Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LK
The AirTAC Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LK 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 GAR20008LK
The GAR20008LK is a compact air pressure regulator that takes a higher supply pressure and holds a steady, lower downstream pressure you set with the knob and read on the circular gauge. It is a regulator only - it does not filter the air, remove water, or separate particles, and it has no drain bowl or filter element.
This 1/4in unit weighs 170 g and uses the lower-pressure (L) type, regulating from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi). The pressed-in self-locking knob prevents the set pressure from drifting due to vibration or accidental knocks, while the balanced adjustment mechanism keeps the setting stable as supply pressure varies.

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 GAR20008LK Is Used
Low-pressure clamping
Set a gentle, repeatable clamp force on delicate workpieces in assembly fixtures where a standard 0.9 MPa regulator would over-stress the part.
Lab air supply
Feed a steady 0.1-0.3 MPa supply to laboratory pneumatic instruments or test rigs that need a lower, stable pressure than the plant main.
Paint and blow-off
Regulate a soft blow-off or low-pressure paint feed for finishing tasks where a gentle, controlled air stream protects the surface.
Is the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR20008LK the Right Regulator?
Choose the GAR20008LK when your application needs a precise low-pressure setpoint between 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi) and your line is 1/4in. The L type gives finer resolution over this low band but cannot reach a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint at all, so for standard machine pressures pick the S type instead. This model includes the mounting bracket and the circular gauge reads MPa/psi (PT thread); the K suffix means a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached. If the line also needs clean air, use the matching GAFR200-08 filter-regulator or a separate GAF filter upstream. The L type's 0.35 MPa adjustable span is about 2.4x narrower than the S type's 0.85 MPa band, so the L gives finer control over its low range.
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 GAR20008LK FAQ
The GAR20008LK regulates air from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi). Maximum supply pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the temperature range is -20 to 70 C. The unit weighs 170 g and has a 1/4in port. It is a regulator only and does not filter the air.
The K suffix means a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached to the GAR20008LK. This is a factory-fitted option on the regulator. The GAR itself remains a regulator only - it does not filter or clean the air.
