Rated for 30000 hours service life at those conditions, with maximum intermittent torque of 29 N.m for short-duration peaks. The 18 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm defines the steady-state load the gearbox can transmit without exceeding its thermal or mechanical limits; the 29 N.m maximum rating covers acceleration peaks, shock loads, or stall conditions within the duty cycle. Maximum torsional backlash of 28 arc.min means the output shaft can rotate up to 28 arc-minutes before the input engages — significant for positioning or indexing applications where lost motion must be budgeted into the servo loop or cam profile. Ambient operating range -25 to 90 °C covers most indoor industrial environments but not extended sub-zero or high-heat zones; the IP54 shaft output seal protects against dust ingress and light splashing but is not rated for washdown or submersion. ## Efficiency, noise, and bearing loads — integration constraints 94 % efficiency at rated load means 6 % of input power is lost as heat inside the gearbox — relevant for thermal management in enclosed spaces or when sizing upstream motor power. Noise level 55 dB at 1 m, no-load, is moderate — acceptable for most machine-tool or conveyor applications but may need acoustic enclosure in noise-sensitive installations. ## Construction and maintenance — lubricated for life, sealed unit Straight-tooth planetary design with black anodized aluminium housing and C45 steel shaft. Lubricated for life — no grease-change interval, no maintenance ports; the gearbox is a sealed, replace-as-assembly component. Shaft output IP54 means the seal at the output shaft is protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but the gearbox body itself is not rated for washdown environments — mounting orientation and drip protection should be considered in the enclosure design.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400151001F planetary gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400151001F planetary gearbox, 40 mm diameter, 15:1 reduction, 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/fa3c4e32fc51aa0f8d1e968e2191c103.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0400151001F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-151-28arcmin-18-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400151001F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous output torque of the GBX0400151001F?","answer":"18 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a maximum intermittent rating of 29 N.m.
