Quantities are confirmed at RFQ against the specific BOM line; no stock-holding claim is made here. ## Mechanical ratings that govern the fit The GBX0400201404F is a 40 mm diameter planetary gearbox with a 20:1 reduction ratio, delivering 20 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, meaning no field re-greasing interval is required within that service window. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio. The noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — relevant for noise-sensitive environments like laboratory or clean-room conveyor drives. ## Integration constraints — shaft loading and sealing The output shaft is C45 steel with IP54 protection at the shaft output. This is a splash-seal rating, not a submersible one — the gearbox is suitable for dry indoor environments with occasional dust or splash exposure, but not washdown or outdoor service. Maximum radial force Fr is 200 N at mid-distance from the output shaft, rated for 10,000 hours at 30 °C. For the full 30,000-hour service life, the allowable radial force drops to 160 N. Axial force Fa follows the same derating profile: 200 N for 10,000 hours, 160 N for 30,000 hours. These are the load limits that must be checked against the driven pulley or sprocket overhang. Torsional backlash is 28 arc.min maximum. This is a standard-precision planetary — not suitable for servo positioning loops that require arc-minute or sub-arc-minute repeatability, but adequate for indexing, transfer, and speed-reduction applications where the load inertia dominates the positioning error.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400201404F planetary gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400201404F planetary gearbox, 40 mm diameter, 20:1 reduction, 20 N.m continuous torque, 94 % efficiency, 30000 h service life.","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/8c0abf405606ab76c2bfb50039233b4a.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX0400201404F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-201-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400201404F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0400201404F's continuous output torque and service life?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 20 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
