It delivers 6 N.m continuous output torque and peaks at 10 N.m maximum — sized for servo or stepper motor stages where compactness and low backlash (30 arc.min maximum) matter. Rated efficiency of 96 % means only 4 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear train — relevant for duty-cycle applications where thermal buildup in a confined cabinet is a concern. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load, quiet enough for lab or light-industrial environments. ## Service life and environmental limits — what a maintenance spare buyer needs to know Rated service life is 30 000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — a common benchmark for continuous-duty gearboxes in packaging or material-handling axes. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil-change intervals to schedule. Shaft output IP54 protection means it resists dust ingress and splashing water, but not washdown; keep it out of direct hose spray. Housing is black anodised aluminium; shaft material is C 45 steel. ## Mechanical load limits — axial force, radial force, and torsional rigidity Maximum axial force Fa is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10 000-hour life, derating to 160 N for the full 30 000-hour rating. Maximum radial force Fr follows the same pattern: 200 N at 100 rpm for 10 000 hours, 160 N for 30 000 hours, with the force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. These are the limits that govern bearing life in overhung-load applications like belt drives or pinion gears. Torsional rigidity is 1 N.m/arcmin — a measure of how much the output shaft twists under load. Combined with 30 arc.min maximum backlash, this gearbox suits positioning axes where repeatability matters more than absolute accuracy; for sub-arcmin applications, look at a low-backlash or harmonic-drive stage. Moment of inertia is 0.017 g.cm² — low enough that it does not dominate the reflected inertia of a small servo motor. Mounting position is any, simplifying integration into vertical or inverted orientations.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX0400080401D Planetary Gearbox, 8:1, 6 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400080401D planetary gearbox, 8:1 reduction, 6 N.m continuous torque, 96% efficiency, 55 dB noise.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX0400080401D","Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"55 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 40 mm- reduction 8:1- < 30arcmin- 6 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"8:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"0.017 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"10 N.m","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","Continuous output torque":"6 N.m","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,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/84b0c494a4f7c79a7e5683eaef883e8c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0400080401D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-81-30arcmin-6-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous output torque and efficiency of GBX0400080401D?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 6 N.m, with a maximum of 10 N.m.
