The AirTAC GAR Air Regulator GAR30008LNK 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 no-gauge (N) port for a panel gauge. It regulates pressure only — it does not filter the air or remove water.
The GAR30008LNK is an AirTAC air pressure regulator that takes a higher supply and holds a steady lower downstream pressure, set by its knob. It is a regulator only - it does not filter, clean, or dry the air, and has no drain bowl or filter element. This unit has a 1/4in port and weighs 300 g, placing it in the mid-size GAR300 class.
Its lower-pressure (L) type regulates from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi), which suits low-pressure circuits but cannot reach a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint. The pressed-in self-locking knob prevents the set pressure from drifting due to vibration or accidental contact, keeping the downstream setting stable during operation. No gauge is fitted, so pressure is read on the line's own panel gauge.

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.

Set a gentle, repeatable clamp force on a fixture or work-holder where the supply line runs at a higher pressure. The L type's fine low-band adjustment suits delicate part retention without over-stressing the workpiece.
Feed a stable 0.05-0.4 MPa signal to a pilot-operated valve or a pressure switch. The balanced design holds the setpoint as the main supply fluctuates, keeping the pilot signal consistent.
Provide a controlled low-pressure air feed for a bench test setup or a calibration rig. The 1/4in port suits small-diameter tubing, and the self-locking knob keeps the setting fixed during extended tests.
Choose the body and port first: GAR300 offers 1/4in, 3/8in, or 1/2in ports, with this model at 1/4in. The L type regulates 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi) with finer resolution over that low band, while the standard S type spans 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) - pick L only for low-pressure work, S for general machinery. This unit has no gauge (N), so rely on an existing panel gauge; the mounting bracket is included, and the PT thread reads MPa/psi on any fitted gauge. The K code means a reverse-flow (reflux) valve is attached. If the line also needs clean air, use the matching GAFR300-08 or a GAF filter upstream. The standard S type's adjustable band is about 2.4x this L type's span (0.85 MPa vs 0.35 MPa).
Quick checklist
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.
The GAR30008LNK is a lower-pressure (L) regulator with a 1/4in port and a 300 g weight. It regulates from 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi), with a max supply pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The temperature range is -20 to 70 C. It has no gauge fitted, includes the mounting bracket, uses PT threads, and has a reflux valve attached.
The N means no pressure gauge is fitted to this regulator. You read the downstream pressure on the line's own panel gauge or an external gauge instead. This saves cost when a gauge is already present in the system, and the PT thread standard still allows a compatible gauge to be added if needed.
