Its continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 29 N.m under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at the continuous torque rating — a figure that drops to 10,000 hours at the maximum torque limit. The gearbox is lubricated for life, eliminating periodic oil changes in service. ## Load ratings and application limits Maximum axial force Fa is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derating to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service interval. Maximum radial force Fr follows the same pattern: 200 N at mid-shaft for 10,000 hours, 160 N for 30,000 hours. Torsional backlash is 28 arc.min maximum — this is the angular play between input and output when reversing direction. For positioning applications requiring tighter repeatability, a lower-backlash gearbox would be needed. Efficiency is 94 %, meaning 6 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear train. At 18 N.m output and 100 rpm, the thermal dissipation is roughly 12 W — well within the anodized aluminium housing's natural convection capability across the -25 to 90 °C operating range. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — comparable to a quiet office environment. Under load, expect a modest increase depending on torque and speed. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX0400151404F as obsolete. Available through independent distribution — quantities are confirmed at RFQ against the specific BOM line. The gearbox is sourced from surplus and overstock inventory, not factory-direct production. ## Mounting and integration notes The 40 mm diameter housing with black anodized aluminium construction suits compact machine frames and servo-motor mounting flanges. Shaft material is C45 carbon steel, and the shaft output carries an IP54 rating — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not submersion. The straight-tooth design is inherently noisier than helical but offers higher efficiency at a given ratio and lower manufacturing cost. For noise-sensitive environments, verify the 55 dB no-load spec against the application's acoustic limits.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400151404F Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400151404F planetary gearbox, 15:1 ratio, 18 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
