It delivers 14 Nm continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak allowable of 22 Nm at the same speed and temperature. Rated efficiency sits at 94 %, which means about 6 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the gearbox — typical for a single-stage planetary at this ratio. The noise level is 55 dB at 1 m under no-load, quiet enough for lab or light-assembly environments. Service life is specified at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes needed in that window. The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. ## Load limits and backlash — sizing the gearbox into a servo or stepper axis Maximum torsional backlash is 24 arc-minutes, which is standard for a commercial planetary at this price point — not suitable for a zero-backlash positioning stage, but fine for indexing, conveyor drives, or pick-and-place where the load reverses infrequently. Torsional rigidity is 1 N·m/arcmin, meaning a 10 N·m load twists the output shaft about 10 arc-minutes before the gear teeth take up the slack. The axial force limit is 200 N at 100 rpm for 10,000 hours, dropping to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. Radial force limits follow the same derating curve — 200 N at mid-shaft for 10,000 hours, 160 N for 30,000 hours. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. ## Obsolete status — sourcing reality for the GBX0400051401F Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. No official successor or cross-reference part number is published for this specific frame size and ratio combination. Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific — confirmed at RFQ against the BOM line. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement exists from Schneider; a mechanical re-design of the mounting interface is needed if moving to a current-series planetary. For a line-down situation, the 40 mm frame diameter and 5:1 ratio are the critical fit dimensions — verify the input bore, keyway, and output shaft configuration against the mating motor and load before committing to a replacement.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400051401F planetary gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400051401F planetary gearbox, 5:1 ratio, 14 Nm continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 55 dB noise.","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":"5:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"194.7 lbf.in (22 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":"123.9 lbf.in (14 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":"24 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/637ab94a2bf2cc97b84f4fea4dd8d4b8.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0400051401F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-51-24arcmin-14-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400051401F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0400051401F?","answer":"14 Nm continuous at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent rating of 22 Nm at the same speed and temperature."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400051401F","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400051401F when reusing this data.
