The maximum output torque of 29 N.m covers short overload peaks — starts, stalls, or momentary jams — but the drive train sees the 18 N.m limit in normal cycling. At 94% efficiency, about 6% of the input power goes into heat inside the gearbox. For a continuous 18 N.m output at 100 rpm, that's roughly 12 W of heat — the black anodized aluminium housing sinks it without a fan, but the 30 °C ambient rating means the gearbox shouldn't sit in a hot cabinet or next a motor running hot. ## 30,000-hour service life — lubed for life, no re-grease port The service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that's about 3.4 years of 24/7 operation before the gearbox should be replaced. It's lubricated for life with no re-grease access, so the 30,000-hour mark is the replace-at interval, not a lube interval. The radial and axial force ratings drop when you stretch the life: at 30,000 hours the maximum radial force is 160 N at 100 rpm, versus 200 N if you accept a 10,000-hour life. If the application loads the shaft bearings hard, the shorter-life rating gives more margin. ## 15:1 straight-tooth planetary — 35 arc-min backlash Straight-tooth planetary with 15:1 reduction and 35 arc-minutes maximum torsional backlash. That's standard precision — fine for positioning conveyors, rotary tables, or pick-and-place where the load doesn't reverse direction rapidly. For zero-backlash servo axes (machining, laser cutting), this gearbox will show lost motion at each reversal. The torsional rigidity is 1.1 N.m per arc-minute of windup — under the 18 N.m continuous load the shaft twists about 16 arc-minutes before the output moves. That windup is predictable and repeatable, so the controller can compensate if the application needs tighter positioning.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400150401D Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400150401D planetary gearbox, 15:1 reduction, 94% efficiency, 18 N.m continuous torque, 30,000 hr life.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX0400150401D","Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"55 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 40 mm- reduction 15:1- < 35arcmin- 18 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"15:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"0.023 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1.1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"29 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":"18 N.m","Gearbox external diameter":"40 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"35 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/a7238a3a08b74d1aa87cdb23b1b76c23.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX0400150401D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-151-35arcmin-18-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy GBX0400150401D and get a price?","answer":"The GBX0400150401D is available to order through independent distribution."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400150401D","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/GBX0400150401D when reusing this data.
