Maximum output torque reaches 368 N.m (3257.07 lbf.in) under the same conditions — this is the peak overload ceiling, not a continuous duty figure. Exceeding it risks tooth fracture or bearing failure. The 15:1 reduction ratio means the input speed is divided by 15 while torque is multiplied by roughly the same factor, minus the 94 % efficiency loss. That efficiency figure is the mechanical power throughput — 6 % is lost as heat in the gear mesh and bearings. ## Mechanical limits and integration constraints Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the 30000-hour service life, or 2800 N for a 10000-hour life. Maximum radial force Fr is 1500 N at 100 rpm for 30000 hours, or 2000 N for 10000 hours. These are the bearing and shaft load limits — overhung loads from pulleys or sprockets must be calculated against the radial figure. The gearbox external diameter is 120 mm (4.7 in), with a black anodized aluminium housing and a C 45 steel shaft. The shaft output carries an IP54 ingress protection rating — suitable for indoor environments with dust and splash exposure, but not washdown. Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 12 arc.min. The backlash figure matters for positioning accuracy in reversing or indexing applications — 12 arc.min is typical for a standard-precision planetary gearbox, not a zero-backlash unit. Service life is rated at 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and the gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil changes or regreasing intervals. Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 to 90 °C. ## Noise and duty-cycle considerations Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — this is the acoustic signature without load. Under load, gear mesh noise typically increases by 3-8 dB depending on torque and speed. The straight teeth design is inherently noisier than helical gearing at higher speeds.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200150551F Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200150551F planetary gearbox, 15:1 ratio, 230 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":"65 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"15:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"13 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"3257.07 lbf.in (368 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":"2100 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 2800 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"1500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 2000 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"2035.7 lbf.in (230 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"4.7 in (120 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"12 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/291749bebacd697416eb52b20d5abe1c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1200150551F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-151-12arcmin-230-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200150551F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How can I get pricing and availability for the GBX1200150551F?","answer":"Submit an RFQ against your BOM quantity.
