That continuous figure is your duty-cycle anchor — the motor side sees about 13 N.m reflected back, so the servo or stepper sizing starts there. Maximum output torque hits 416 N.m at the same speed and temperature — short-duration peak loads during acceleration or reversing won't overshoot the gear train if they stay under that ceiling. ## Obsolete — sourcing reality for this GBX gearbox Schneider Electric lists the GBX1200201401F as obsolete. No direct successor order code is recorded — the GBX series has been phased out, so replacement means either a surplus-channel buy or a parametric cross to a current planetary gearbox family. Sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ. ## Efficiency, noise, and mechanical limits Rated 94 % efficiency means about 6 % of the input power turns into heat inside the housing. For a 1 kW input that's 60 W of thermal load — the black anodised aluminium body (120 mm diameter) sheds it in still air, but in a sealed enclosure the duty cycle may need de-rating. Noise floor is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — that's conversational level. Straight-cut teeth are inherently noisier than helical, so if the application is in a quiet lab or near operator stations, expect a whine under load. Service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — about 3.4 years continuous running. The gearbox ships lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 2100 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 2800 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life. Radial force at mid-span is 1500 N for 30,000 hours, 2000 N for 10,000 hours. These are the limits that govern overhung load sizing — belt drives or pinions that exceed these will shorten bearing life. Shaft output IP54 means the output seal resists dust and splashing water, but the input side and motor adapter are not sealed — the gearbox is for dry indoor locations, not washdown.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200201401F planetary gearbox 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200201401F planetary gearbox, 20:1 reduction, 260 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":"20:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"13 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"3681.9 lbf.in (416 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":"2301.2 lbf.in (260 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/fa33806fdb08252447d1944796cf0d0a.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX1200201401F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-201-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200201401F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the key torque ratings for the GBX1200201401F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
