About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1)
The AirTAC GC40010AF1 is a genuine AirTAC three-unit F.R.L. combination made up of a separate filter, regulator and lubricator for compressed air. This size 400 set uses a 3/8 in PT port, a 40 um standard filter element in an automatic-drain bowl, and the F1 gauge option: an embedded square gauge reading in MPa on the regulator. The regulator adjusts from 0.15 to 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) with the automatic drain, and the set is rated to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) maximum working pressure between -5 and 70 C (non-freezing). Bowl material on the 400 size is PC (polycarbonate).
The GC family runs from size 200 to 600, so the same function set is available with smaller or larger ports, plus drain types (automatic, manual, differential-pressure), a 5 um (W) element, PT/G/NPT threads, gauge styles and scales. Flow is given as curves in the AirTAC catalogue, so we confirm flow and datasheet figures on request.

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 (GC40010AF1) Is Used
Injection moulding machine core-pull circuit
On an injection moulding machine, the core-pull and ejection cylinders on the mould are supplied through this set. The automatic drain handles compressor condensate, the MPa square gauge matches the machine's control-panel units, and the lubricator feeds the mould-mounted cylinders.
Electronics assembly indexing table
An SMT-adjacent indexing and insertion table with dozens of small air cylinders draws from this F.R.L. set on its 3/8 in PT supply drop. Filtered 40 um air, a stable regulated pressure and metered lubrication keep the compact actuators running through continuous cycles.
Maintenance shop drop lines
A plant maintenance department equips its shop air drops with this set so grinders, air guns and portable clamps always receive filtered, regulated and lubricated air. The automatic-drain bowl means weekends of idle compressor running do not leave water sitting in the filter.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010AF1) the Right Station?
Compared with the C3 code, this AF1 version swaps the external round bar gauge for the embedded square gauge on an MPa scale - handy where panel space is tight and MPa is the house unit; psi and bar scales are also offered. Everything else decodes as size 400, 3/8 in PT port, 40 um filtration and automatic drain, with the standard regulator range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi). If operators bleed the bowls daily, manual drain widens the range to 0.05-0.9 MPa (7-130 psi); otherwise automatic drain keeps service hands-off. Upgrade to the W element for 5 um filtration, or step sizes 200-600 to match port and flow.
Because AirTAC states flow only as curves, ask us to confirm the figures for your application before ordering.
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 (GC40010AF1) FAQ
We cannot quote a single rated flow because AirTAC publishes flow for the GC400 series as curves rather than one number. Send us your operating pressure and demand and we will confirm the flow and datasheet figures for your exact operating point on request.
F selects the gauge style and 1 the scale: an embedded square gauge reading in MPa. This is the alternative to the external round gauge (C), which is offered with MPa, psi (2) or bar (3) scales. The rest of the code decodes as size 400, 3/8 in PT port, automatic drain and 40 um filtration.
