About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AC1)
The AirTAC GC series is a three-piece F.R.L. combination: a separate air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator that together clean, regulate and oil-mist lubricate a compressed-air supply. This GC40010AC1 is built in size 400 with a 3/8 in. PT port as the standard thread, an automatic drain on the filter bowl, the standard 40 um filter element, and a round pressure gauge reading in MPa. With automatic drainage, collected condensate is expelled from the bowl without operator attention, and the regulator adjusts over 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with this drain type.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The GC family is offered in sizes 200, 300, 400 and 600, with ports from 1/8 in. to 1 in., a choice of differential-pressure, automatic or manual drains, an optional 5 um element (code W), gauge styles and scales, and G (BSPP) or NPT threads as catalogue options. Maximum inlet pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi) and working temperature is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating; ask us and we will confirm the datasheet figures for your application.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). The combination has no separate bracket code — the three units couple together with their own mounting hardware. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.

Field order is size, port, drain, type, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GF400-10 filter, GR400-10 regulator and GL400-10 lubricator.
Size Class & How It Differs From GFC
- GC200PT1/8" - PT1/4"
- GC300PT1/4" - PT1/2"
- GC400PT3/8" - PT1/2"
- GC600PT3/4" - PT1"
A GC is three separate units, so the filter and the regulator can each be serviced or replaced on their own. A GFC is the two-unit set, where filtering and regulating share one body — shorter, but the two functions come as one part. Both filter, regulate and lubricate.

Where the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AC1) Is Used
Packaging line actuation air
Feeds cleaned, regulated and lubricated air to the cylinders and grippers of a carton-forming and sealing machine, with the automatic drain handling condensate between shifts.
Machining cell clamping circuits
Supplies filtered, pressure-stabilised, oil-misted air to the pneumatic clamps and workholding fixtures on a CNC machining cell, one set per cell.
Conveyor diverter controls
Prepares the air feeding diverter gates and pusher cylinders along a bottling conveyor, where the lubricator keeps valve spools and cylinders moving smoothly.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AC1) the Right Station?
Size 400 with a 3/8 in. PT port sits mid-range in the GC family; step down to 300 or up to 600 if your piping and air demand call for a different port size. The automatic drain suits duty where nobody empties bowls on a schedule; manual and differential-pressure drains are orderable alternatives. The standard 40 um element covers general plant air, while the W code gives a 5 um element for finer protection. The gauge here reads in MPa; psi (2) and bar (3) scales are available. PT is the standard thread and G (BSPP) or NPT can be ordered. Flow appears as curves, not a single rated figure, so send us your requirement and we will confirm sizing from the datasheet before you order.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (PT3/8" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain sets the regulating band
- ✓ Gauge fitted, shape and scale
- ✓ Three-unit (GC) or two-unit (GFC) layout
- ✓ Oil mist acceptable downstream
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter first, lubricator last.
- check Mount vertically, bowls down.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Adjust only within 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills; check the oil level.
- check Keep the station above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream of the regulator. If any branch of the line must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator, or use a GR400-10 regulator with a GF400-10 filter on that branch.
AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AC1) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC series as curves rather than a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number here. Send us your operating pressure and required flow and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet before you order.
The A in the code sets an automatic drain, which ejects collected condensate from the filter bowl without operator attention. The same size 400 unit can be ordered with a manual drain or the differential-pressure drain instead - just tell us which you prefer.
