Quantities are lot-specific; availability and pricing confirmed at RFQ. ## 5:1 planetary reduction in a 40 mm package Straight-tooth planetary gearbox, 40 mm external diameter, delivering a 5:1 reduction ratio. Maximum torsional backlash is 30 arcmin — this is a commercial-grade positioning gearbox, not a zero-backlash precision stage. For applications where lost motion matters, budget the full 30 arcmin into the positioning budget. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. ## Load ratings and mechanical limits Maximum radial force Fr is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life — force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. Maximum axial force Fa follows the same 200 N / 160 N derating profile at the same speed and temperature conditions. Torsional rigidity is 1 N·m/arcmin. Moment of inertia is 0.019 g·cm² — low enough that it won't dominate the reflected inertia in a small servo or stepper system. Shaft output carries an IP54 rating; the housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. ## Efficiency and noise floor Listed at 96 % efficiency — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth and oil lubrication. The 55 dB noise level at 1 m, no-load, is quiet enough for laboratory or light industrial environments without an acoustic enclosure.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400050401D Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400050401D planetary gearbox, 5:1 reduction, 96% efficiency, 30 arcmin backlash.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"55 dB at 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"5:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"0.019 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1 N.m/arcmin","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"200 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 160 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"200 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C 160 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C","Gearbox external diameter":"40 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"30 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/022b32003e96b84c0628d48725b4bd10.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0400050401D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-51-30arcmin-14-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400050401D/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How do I get current pricing and availability for GBX0400050401D?","answer":"Submit an RFQ through this listing.
