It is designed for servo or stepper motor output stages where compact axial length and low backlash matter — the maximum torsional backlash is 30 arc.min, which sets the positioning repeatability floor for index tables or pick-and-place axes. Continuous output torque is 15 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; the maximum output torque reaches 24 N.m under the same conditions. The 94 % efficiency means roughly 6 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the housing — in a sealed aluminium body with no external fan, that thermal budget limits duty cycle in continuous high-load runs. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted to order Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0400041004F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a BOM freeze or a retrofit project, the key fit parameters to cross-check against a replacement candidate are the 40 mm housing diameter, the 4:1 ratio, the 15 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm, and the 30 arc.min backlash. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — the housing itself is not sealed, so the gearbox is suited for dry indoor environments or protected enclosures. ## Mechanical and environmental limits Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — the limiting wear factors are the radial and axial loads on the output shaft. Maximum radial force Fr is 200 N at 100 rpm for 10000 hours, dropping to 160 N for the full 30000-hour life; axial force Fa follows the same profile. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance oil changes are needed over that service window. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m under no-load — audible but not intrusive in a typical machine hall; under load the gear mesh whine will rise, but the straight-tooth design is inherently noisier than helical at the same ratio.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400041004F planetary gearbox, 4:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400041004F planetary gearbox, 4:1 reduction, 15 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, IP54 shaft output.","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/05214b3ec61097a16671fe300179d91f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX0400041004F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-41-30arcmin-15-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400041004F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy GBX0400041004F and get a price?","answer":"The GBX0400041004F is sourced to order through independent distribution.
