It delivers 18 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, with a maximum intermittent torque of 29 N.m under the same conditions. Efficiency is rated at 94 %, with a no-load noise level of 55 dB measured at 1 m — figures that matter when the gearbox runs continuously in a production line and every percentage point of loss shows up as heat or energy cost. The housing is black anodized aluminium with shaft output protection rated IP54, and the C 45 steel output shaft is specified for radial and axial loads up to 200 N (at 100 rpm, 10,000-hour life) or 160 N (at 30,000-hour life), with the radial force applied at mid-distance on the shaft. ## Mechanical constraints and integration Maximum torsional backlash is 28 arc.min — this is a standard-precision planetary, not a zero-backlash stage. If your axis reverses direction under load, the lost motion at the output will be at least this value before the gear train picks up. Service life is declared at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no oil-change interval to schedule, but the rating assumes the load stays within the continuous torque envelope. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C. Torsional rigidity is 1.1 N.m/arcmin, which gives a stiffness figure for calculating windup under peak load. For a 15:1 reduction, the reflected inertia at the motor shaft will be the load inertia divided by 225, minus the gearbox's own inertia contribution. ## Lifecycle status and sourcing The GBX0400150554F is classified as obsolete per Schneider Electric's lifecycle record. No stock-holding claim is made; availability is verified at quote time.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400150554F Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400150554F planetary gearbox, 15:1 ratio, 18 N.m continuous torque, 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":"15:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1.1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"256.7 lbf.in (29 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":"159.3 lbf.in (18 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/c7b704a6c280d4c9148dd600916d3c1a.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX0400150554F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-151-28arcmin-18-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400150554F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0400150554F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 18 N.m (159.3 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
