It delivers 20 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm (32 N.m maximum) with 94% efficiency — a solid match for servo or stepper motor applications needing compact speed reduction in a panel or machine frame. ## Torque, backlash, and service life — what the numbers mean for fit The 20 N.m continuous torque rating at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient is the figure to design to for sustained duty; the 32 N.m maximum output torque covers peak loads during acceleration or momentary overloads. Maximum torsional backlash is 28 arc.min — this is a standard-precision gearbox, not a zero-backlash unit, so it suits positioning applications where a few arc-minutes of lost motion is acceptable. Service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. Torsional rigidity is 1.1 N.m/arcmin, giving a stiffness figure to check against the system's resonance frequency. Maximum axial force (Fa) is 200 N and maximum radial force (Fr) is 200 N, both at 100 rpm for 10,000 hours at 30 °C; derate to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. The shaft output carries an IP54 degree of protection — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for laboratory or light industrial settings without acoustic enclosures. The housing is black anodized aluminium, the shaft is C45 steel, and the operating ambient range spans -25 to 90 °C. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX0400200553F as obsolete. The gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400200553F Planetary Gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400200553F planetary gearbox, 40 mm diameter, 20:1 reduction, 20 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":"20:1","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":"283.2 lbf.in (32 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":"177.01 lbf.in (20 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/a5dc9447d2c0f707652ece3b95ac5141.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX0400200553F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-201-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400200553F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400200553F","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/GBX0400200553F when reusing this data.
