This part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. ## Torque and duty cycle — continuous vs peak Continuous output torque is 40 N.m (354.03 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Maximum output torque reaches 64 N.m (566.4 lbf.in) under the same conditions — that is the peak the gearbox can handle before the straight-tooth profile risks damage. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval for grease changes. ## Backlash and stiffness — positioning accuracy Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min. That is a standard-precision planetary — adequate for indexing and positioning where the load does not reverse direction under torque, but not for servo-grade zero-backlash applications. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin. This tells you how much the output shaft twists under load: at 40 N.m continuous, expect about 16 arcmin of windup before the gear teeth engage fully. ## Shaft loading — axial and radial limits Maximum axial force Fa is 450 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, or 600 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life. Radial force Fr is 340 N at mid-shaft for 30,000 hours, or 500 N for 10,000 hours. These limits apply at 30 °C. Overhung loads from pulleys or sprockets must stay within the radial force envelope — exceeding it shortens bearing life faster than the torque rating suggests. ## Environmental and mechanical specs Shaft output seal is rated IP54 — splash-resistant but not submersible. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C (-13 to 194 °F). Housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — typical for a straight-tooth planetary of this size. Efficiency is 94 %. The straight-tooth design is slightly less efficient than helical but simpler to back-drive in manual override situations.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600401001F Planetary Gearbox, 40:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600401001F planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 40:1 reduction, 40 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":"40:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"2.5 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"566.4 lbf.in (64 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":"450 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 600 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"340 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"354.03 lbf.in (40 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"2.4 in (60 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"20 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/52eee7110897707511395c4e5dff54af.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0600401001F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-401-20arcmin-40-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600401001F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX0600401001F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 40 N.m (354.03 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
