The field still reads 'current', which is a catalog discrepancy — the procurement reality is that this straight-tooth planetary gearbox is no longer in active factory production. For a line-down situation or BOM freeze, this gearbox is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels. ## 15:1 reduction, 368 N.m peak — what the torque ratings mean The 15:1 reduction ratio means the output shaft turns once for every 15 input revolutions, multiplying input torque by roughly 15× minus efficiency losses. At 100 rpm output, the gearbox delivers 368 N.m (3257 lbf.in) maximum intermittent torque and 230 N.m (2035.7 lbf.in) continuous torque — both at 30 °C ambient. The continuous torque figure (230 N.m) is the one to size against for sustained duty cycles. The maximum torque (368 N.m) covers occasional peak loads during acceleration or jams — exceeding that risks tooth fracture in the straight-tooth planetary set. 94 % efficiency is respectable for a straight-tooth planetary (helical gears typically run 95-97 %). The 6 % loss translates to heat that must be dissipated through the black anodized aluminium housing — at 230 N.m and 100 rpm, that's roughly 240 W of thermal load to manage. ## Backlash, rigidity, and force limits for positioning duty Maximum torsional backlash is 12 arc-min — this is a standard-precision planetary, not a zero-backlash unit. For indexing or positioning applications where repeatability matters, budget for this lost motion in the servo loop or consider a preloaded gearbox. Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin — the gearbox twists 1 arc-minute for every 13 N.m of applied torque. At the continuous rating of 230 N.m, expect about 17.7 arc-min of windup under load, which adds to the backlash figure. Maximum axial force (Fa) is 2100 N for 30000-hour life at 100 rpm, 30 °C, or 2800 N for 10000-hour life. Maximum radial force (Fr) is 1500 N for 30000 hours or 2000 N for 10000 hours, applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. These are the overhung load limits — a belt drive or pinion mounted directly on the output shaft must stay within these to avoid bearing failure. ## Service life, lubrication, and environmental sealing Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm output and 30 °C ambient — that is about 3.4 years of continuous running. The gearbox is lubricated for life with no maintenance re-greasing interval, which simplifies commissioning but means the lubricant condition determines the actual end-of-life. IP54 protection at the shaft output means dust-protected and splash-resistant — fine for most industrial environments but not washdown. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — this is the acoustic signature without load. Under load the gear mesh noise will increase; for a 120 mm straight-tooth planetary, expect 70-75 dB under full torque.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200151402F Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200151402F planetary gearbox, 120 mm diameter, 15:1 reduction, 368 N.m max 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/c8bc2f46e57072e0e2ee0024feca75b1.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1200151402F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-151-12arcmin-230-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200151402F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest alternative to GBX1200151402F in the Schneider GBX family?","answer":"A functional replacement would need to match the 120 mm diameter, 15:1 ratio, 230 N.m continuous torque, and 12 arc-min backlash — but the mounting footprint and shaft dimensions must be verified against the original BOM position before specifying a substitute."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider Electric provide for GBX1200151402F?","answer":"The evidence does not list RoHS, REACH, UL, or IEC compliance documentation for this specific order code.
