Maximum output torque reaches 10 N.m under the same conditions — the margin covers short-duration peak loads without oversizing the frame. Efficiency is listed at 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary of this size, meaning only 6 % of input power is lost as heat. The noise level at 1 m, no-load, is 55 dB, quiet enough for lab or light industrial environments where audible gear whine matters. Continuous torque of 6 N.m defines the thermal limit for sustained operation at 100 rpm; the 10 N.m maximum rating is the mechanical limit for infrequent overloads — plan the duty cycle so the RMS torque stays below the continuous figure. Maximum torsional backlash is 30 arc.min — this is a commercial-grade planetary, not a zero-backlash servo reducer. For position-indexing applications where repeatability matters, budget this lost motion into the closed-loop gain or consider a lower-backlash alternative. Axial force (Fa) is rated 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derating to 160 N for 30,000 hours; radial force (Fr) follows the same profile at mid-span on the output shaft. These limits govern bearing life — overhung loads from a pulley or sprocket must be checked against the Fr curve. The gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed to IP54 at the shaft output — no maintenance access required, but the IP54 rating means it is splash-resistant, not washdown-rated. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, covering most indoor machine environments. ## Sourcing — obsolete, available through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX0400080701F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific; each unit is confirmed against the original spec at RFQ. No stock-holding claim — sourced per BOM quantity.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400080701F Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400080701F planetary gearbox, 8:1 reduction, 6 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":"8:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"88.5 lbf.in (10 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Nbr. of units in pkg.":"1","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":"53.1 lbf.in (6 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/4995cce825d428edfe7e1e7baf11b02d.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0400080701F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-81-30arcmin-6-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400080701F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the continuous and maximum output torque ratings for GBX0400080701F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 6 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; maximum output torque is 10 N.m under the same conditions.
