Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR30008L
The AirTAC Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR30008L 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 GAR30008L
The GAR30008L is an air pressure regulator that takes a higher supply and holds a steady 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 has a 1/4in port, weighs 300 g, and is the lower-pressure type, regulating from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi).
Its pressed-in self-locking knob stops the set pressure from drifting due to vibration or accidental knocks, keeping your process stable. The circular gauge with a clip and magnifier is fitted and reads in MPa/psi, saving panel space while staying easy to read. The mounting bracket is included for secure installation.

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 GAFR300 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 GAFR300-08 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 GAR30008L Is Used
Precision Air Sensor Supply
Feed a stable 0.2 MPa to a precision air sensor or gauge. The lower range and fine adjustment of this regulator prevent overpressure that could damage sensitive measurement equipment.
Light Pneumatic Clamp
Set a consistent low pressure for a light pneumatic clamp in a fixture. The self-locking knob keeps the setting from drifting during repeated cycles, ensuring uniform clamping force.
Lab Air Bench
Regulate air for a lab bench tool that needs a gentle, steady supply. The compact 300 g body and included bracket mount easily, while the clear gauge shows the exact low pressure.
Is the Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR30008L the Right Regulator?
Choose the GAR30008L when your downstream equipment needs a low, precise pressure in the 0.05-0.4 MPa band, such as for delicate air sensors or light actuation. This lower type offers finer resolution over its range but cannot reach a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint, so it is the wrong part for a standard machine. The 1/4in port suits small to medium air demand; step up to the GAR400 (570 g) with a 3/8in port for heavier flow needs. The gauge is fitted and reads MPa/psi on the PT thread, and the bracket is included for panel mounting. If your line also needs clean air, use a matching GAFR or a GAF filter upstream, as this regulator does not clean the air. The S type's adjustable band of 0.85 MPa is about 2.4x this L type's 0.35 MPa span.
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 GAFR300
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 300 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 GAFR300-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
Airtac GAR Air Regulator GAR30008L FAQ
The GAR30008L regulates air from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi). Its maximum supply pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and its proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -20 to 70 C and weighs 300 g with a 1/4in port.
The L type offers finer resolution within its 0.05-0.4 MPa band, making it ideal for low-pressure tasks. However, it cannot reach a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint, so for standard machine pressures you would need the S type, which regulates from 0.05-0.9 MPa.
