The straight tooth profile means it's inherently noisier than a helical — expect 65 dB at 1 m under no-load — but it eliminates axial thrust loads on the output bearings, which simplifies the mounting structure when you're coupling to a belt drive or a pinion. The 120 mm housing diameter and black anodized aluminium body (C 45 steel shaft) give it a compact envelope for servo-class applications where panel space is tight. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — fine for dry indoor environments with occasional dust, but not for washdown zones. ## Torque ratings and service life — what the numbers mean for your load Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — that's the number to match against your motor's stall torque and duty cycle. The maximum output torque peaks at 416 N.m under the same conditions, but that's a transient limit for acceleration or shock loads, not a steady-state rating. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. If your application runs at higher speed or temperature, the actual life shortens — the axial and radial force limits also derate with speed. At 100 rpm, maximum axial force (Fa) is 2100 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 2800 N if you accept a 10,000-hour replacement interval. Radial force (Fr) follows the same pattern: 1500 N for 30,000 hours, 2000 N for 10,000 hours. Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin — that's the stiffness figure that governs positioning accuracy under load. For a pick-and-place or indexing axis, this tells you how much windup you get before the output moves. Maximum torsional backlash is 12 arcmin, which is standard precision for a straight-tooth planetary — adequate for general motion, not for a zero-backlash servo stage. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX1200320701F as obsolete. Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific, and the unit is lubricated for life — no field maintenance needed, but verify the seal condition and storage history on any NOS unit. Pricing and lead time confirmed at RFQ against your BOM quantity.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200320701F Planetary Gearbox, 32:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200320701F planetary gearbox, 32:1 ratio, 260 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm, 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":"32:1","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/4b32e58bee662371276c3ab967bb4cd0.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX1200320701F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-321-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200320701F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating at 100 rpm?","answer":"260 N.m continuous at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
