AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1)
The AirTAC AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1) is a genuine G-series three-unit F.R.L. combination: a separate filter, a separate regulator and a separate lubricator assembled as one air-preparation station. It has PT3/8" ports, a 40 µm element, a manual drain and regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi).

About the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1)
The AirTAC GC series is a three-unit F.R.L. combination - separate filter, regulator and lubricator - giving one prepared air supply point for a machine or cell. This GC40010MF1 is the 400 size with a 3/8 in PT port, the standard 40 um filter element and a manual drain on the filter bowl, and it includes an embedded square pressure gauge reading in MPa. Max working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi); with the manual drain the regulator adjusts from 0.05 to 0.9 MPa (7-130 psi), and the temperature range is -5 to 70 C, non-freezing. The filter and lubricator bowls in the 400 size are PC (polycarbonate).
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G series covers the 200, 300, 400 and 600 sizes with ports from 1/8 in to 1 in and catalogue options for thread (PT standard, G and NPT to order), drain type, filter grade, gauge style and scale. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rated figure, so send us your requirements and we will confirm sizing and datasheet details 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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.
Model Code: AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1)
| GC400 | G-series F.R.L. combination, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| M | Drain: Manual drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| F | Gauge shape: Square. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| (blank) | Filtering grade 40 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |

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 (GC40010MF1) Is Used
Electronics assembly pick-and-place
Supplies the regulated, lubricated air that pick-and-place vacuum generators and gripper cylinders need on an electronics assembly line, with the element catching water and debris before the valves.
Fabrication shop plasma and hand tools
Drops a clean, regulated feed to plasma cutter consoles and air tools at a fabrication shop bench, with the square MPa gauge matching the shop's machine gauges.
Press tool counterbalance circuits
Prepares supply air for press tool counterbalance and cushion cylinders, where the regulator holds a steady setpoint so forming forces stay repeatable part to part.
Is the AirTAC GC400-10 FRL Unit (GC40010MF1) the Right Station?
Size the unit by the flow your line needs, stepping 200 / 300 / 400 / 600 alongside the port - this 400 set takes a 3/8 in PT port. The square embedded gauge keeps the setpoint visible at the regulator; round external gauges and psi or bar scales are the other catalogue options. Drain type is a real choice: manual on this model for supervised bleeding of the bowl, with automatic and differential-pressure (default) options on other codes. The 40 um element is the standard grade and the 5 um (W) grade is available for finer filtration. PT is the standard thread; G and NPT are order options.
Rated flow is published as curves, not a single number, so ask us to confirm sizing against the datasheet 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 0.05 - 0.9 MPa (7 - 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 (GC40010MF1) FAQ
AirTAC publishes flow for the GC400 series as characteristic curves rather than a single rated figure, so no single number is quoted here. Give us your line pressure and air demand and we will confirm the sizing against the datasheet on request.
Square gauges on this series are embedded in the regulator body, keeping the assembly compact and the setpoint visible at the unit. A round external gauge, and MPa, psi or bar scales, are catalogue alternatives if your panel layout prefers them.
