It delivers 14 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 22 N.m at the same speed and temperature. Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — a working pull with documented runtime under that figure still carries meaningful remaining life. The unit is lubricated for life, so no field maintenance interval applies; the sealed housing means the lubricant condition is whatever it left the factory with. Efficiency is 94 % at rated load, which keeps thermal rise low in the drive train — relevant if this gearbox sits in a confined enclosure without forced cooling. ## Load limits and mounting constraints Maximum radial force on the output shaft is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10000-hour life target, dropping to 160 N for the full 30000-hour rating. Axial force limits are identical — 200 N at 10000 hours, 160 N at 30000 hours. Both figures assume the force is applied at mid-distance from the output shaft face. Torsional backlash is 24 arc.min maximum — this is a standard-precision planetary, not a zero-backlash stage. For positioning applications requiring repeatability under 10 arc.min, this gearbox will need a downstream compensation or a higher-grade unit. The housing is black anodized aluminium, 40 mm diameter, with shaft output rated IP54. The IP rating applies to the output seal only — the motor interface side is not sealed, so the gearbox should be mounted with the motor flange facing down or protected from drip exposure. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments but not washdown or outdoor direct-sun exposure without a sun shield. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, sourced to order Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. Sourcing runs through independent surplus and decommissioning channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No pin-compatible direct replacement is documented from the manufacturer. A functional replacement would require matching the 40 mm housing diameter, 5:1 ratio, 14 N.m continuous torque, and the motor interface flange pattern — a board spin or adapter plate is likely. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — useful for noise-budget planning if the gearbox runs in a quiet area. The straight-tooth design is inherently noisier than helical; this figure is typical for the class.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400051404F Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400051404F planetary gearbox, 5:1 reduction, 14 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm, 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":"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/f66eda0b1a7dd51090e2b395f7cdaf91.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0400051404F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-51-24arcmin-14-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400051404F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0400051404F?","answer":"14 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
