It delivers 15 N.m continuous output torque (24 N.m peak) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with 94 % efficiency across the operating band. Backlash is rated at 30 arc.min maximum — a standard-precision class that suits indexing and positioning where the load doesn't reverse frequently. Torsional rigidity is 1 N.m/arcmin, so the windup under load is predictable for sizing the servo loop. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted per RFQ Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0400041002F obsolete. The part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ time. For volume or scheduled requirements, submit a BOM-level RFQ. ## Mechanical constraints — shaft loads, seal, and service life The output shaft is C45 steel with a black anodized aluminium housing. Shaft output sealing is IP54 — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown. Maximum axial force is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. Radial force follows the same profile: 200 N peak, 160 N sustained, applied at mid-distance on the output shaft. The gearbox is lubricated for life and rated for 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for lab or light assembly lines.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400041002F planetary gearbox, 4:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400041002F planetary gearbox, 4:1 reduction, 15 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"55 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"4:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"212.4 lbf.in (24 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Nbr. of units in pkg.":"1","Service life in hours":"30000 h 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"200 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 160 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"200 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C 160 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"132.8 lbf.in (15 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"1.6 in (40 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"30 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-13...194 °F (-25...90 °C)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/95cc2636e90f8448fa93424e8b29b3cb.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0400041002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-41-30arcmin-15-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400041002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0400041002F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"15 N.m continuous at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a maximum intermittent torque of 24 N.m under the same conditions."},{"question":"What does the 94% efficiency figure mean for system sizing?","answer":"At the rated 15 N.m output, input power is about 157 W mechanical; the 94% efficiency means roughly 10 W is lost as heat inside the gearbox.
