Maximum continuous output torque is 40 N.m at 100 rpm, with a peak of 64 N.m at the same speed — the margin between continuous and maximum covers transient overloads during acceleration or reversing cycles. Efficiency is rated at 94 %, which means roughly 6 % of input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh and bearing friction — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. The noise level at 55 dB at 1 m under no-load is low enough for indoor conveyor or packaging machinery without additional acoustic enclosures. Service life is specified at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — that is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation before the grease degrades and backlash exceeds the 20 arc.min maximum. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil changes or regreasing intervals in the field. ## Load ratings and shaft loading limits Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service window. Radial force is 340 N at mid-shaft for the long life, 500 N for the short life — these are the limits that govern bearing selection on the driven load. Exceed them and the output bearing race spalls early. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin — this number tells you how much the gear train winds up under load. For a servo positioning loop, 20 arc.min of total backlash plus wind-up at rated torque means the output position uncertainty is about 0.33° at the shaft; the controller encoder on the motor side sees the backlash as a dead band. Shaft output protection is IP54 — the seal keeps dust and splash ingress out, but it is not submersible or washdown-rated. The housing is black anodized aluminium, the shaft is C45 carbon steel. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments but not freezer or oven applications. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600401404F as obsolete. No official successor or form-fit-function replacement is published under the GBX family. This means the original manufacturer no longer produces it, and the only supply path is through independent surplus and broker inventories. The 60 mm diameter and 40:1 ratio are the critical fit dimensions; any replacement must match the output shaft diameter, pilot diameter, and bolt pattern of the original mounting flange. Because the part is obsolete, buyers should verify the remaining service life of any surplus unit against the 30,000-hour rating. A unit that has been sitting on a shelf for years still has its full life ahead — the lubricant does not age out in storage — but one pulled from a decommissioned line may have accumulated hours.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600401404F planetary gearbox, 40:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600401404F planetary gearbox, 40:1 ratio, 64 N.m max torque at 100 rpm, 94% efficiency, 55 dB noise.","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/d9fe9f55eed7493d07b345843c322375.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0600401404F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-401-20arcmin-40-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600401404F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the maximum output torque of GBX0600401404F?","answer":"Maximum output torque is 64 N.m (566.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
