The 94 % efficiency means about 6 % of the input power goes to heat — budget that into the motor sizing and thermal profile of the assembly. Straight-tooth gearing keeps the backlash at 28 arc.min maximum — fine for positioning axes where the load holds position under brake, but not for reversing servo applications that need the lower backlash of a helical or dual-planet stage. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced per lot Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and liquidation channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a BOM freeze or last-time-buy, the value is in the sort: a liquidation pallet may carry these alongside other GBX-series units. The 40 mm diameter and 9:1 ratio are the hard fit constraints — everything else (shaft keyway, mounting flange pattern) needs to be verified against the mating motor and load. ## Load ratings and service life — what the numbers mean for fit Rated for 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. The axial and radial force limits drop from 200 N to 160 N if you push the service window to 30,000 hours — the bearing life is the constraint, not the gear teeth. At 100 rpm and 200 N radial force applied mid-shaft, the expected life is 10,000 hours. Shaft output is IP54 — fine for dry indoor environments but not washdown. The black anodized aluminium housing resists corrosion in normal industrial atmospheres. Lubricated for life means no oil-change interval to track. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for a lab or assembly cell but check the actual load spectrum; gear whine increases under torque. The C45 shaft material is standard for this class — hard enough for keyway loads but not case-hardened for abrasive environments.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400091002F planetary gearbox, 9:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400091002F planetary gearbox, 9:1 reduction, 16.5 N.m 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":"9:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1.1 N.m/arcmin","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":"146.04 lbf.in (16.5 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":"28 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/7e6a7a4d015f5f05d171f0455b263f36.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0400091002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-91-28arcmin-16-5-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400091002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400091002F","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/GBX0400091002F when reusing this data.
