The AirTAC Airtac GAR Air Regulators GAR20008SJT is a genuine compressed-air pressure regulator. It sets and holds a steady downstream pressure across the 0.05 - 0.9 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.
The AirTAC GAR20008SJT is an air pressure regulator, not a filter: it steps a varying supply down to a downstream pressure you dial in, and it neither removes water nor traps particles. This unit is the standard S type on a 1/4" port, regulating 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi) with a working maximum of 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Its NPT threads suit NPT piping, and the fitted circular gauge reads psi over bar with a clip and magnifier that save panel space. A pressed-in self-locking knob keeps the setpoint where you left it, while the balanced adjustment mechanism holds that value as supply pressure swings. Rated -20 to 70 C, the 170 g body is supplied without a mounting bracket because of the J position in the code.

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.

A single air pick or impact driver at a repair bench draws modest air; the 1/4" port and one steady set pressure keep it running without constant readjustment during the shift.
Pneumatic clamps on a small fixture hold their grip best when line pressure stays put; the operator sets it once, and the locked knob guards that value against accidental knocks.
Tape heads and small actuated guides on a packaging bench run happily from one regulated drop, and the panel-mounted circular dial gives the operator a live pressure readout.
Body GAR200 is the smallest stocked size class here, and this model's 1/4" port pairs with a 170 g mass that still deserves a solid panel or bracket mount rather than support from the tubing. The same body also takes a 1/8" port (code 06); if your circuit moves up to 3/8" through 1/2", step to GAR300, which weighs 300 g. The S in this code is the standard type regulating 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi); the L variant only reaches 0.05-0.4 MPa (7-58 psi), so it cannot hold a 0.5-0.6 MPa setpoint at all. A circular gauge comes fitted, and because the thread is NPT its dial reads psi with bar as the secondary scale. The J position means no mounting bracket is supplied, so plan on a panel cutout or an existing bracket. This unit regulates pressure only; where the air also needs cleaning, fit a GAF filter upstream or pick the GAFR200 version with the filter built in. For scale, a GAR300 at 300 g weighs about 1.8x what this GAR200 does at 170 g.
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 GAFR200-08 filter-regulator as your air-prep needs grow.
This GAR200 regulator is the standard S type, so it sets anywhere in 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi). Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -20 to 70 C, the port is 1/4", and the body weighs 170 g.
The T selects NPT threads for the piping connection, and on an NPT model the fitted circular gauge is scaled in psi with bar as the secondary readout. A PT version reads MPa/psi and a G version reads bar/MPa, so choose the letter that matches the units your crew works in.
