Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin — the stiffness of the gear train under load. At the continuous torque of 260 N.m, the wind-up is roughly 20 arcmin (260 / 13), which the controller must account for in the servo tuning or the position loop. ## Lifecycle status — obsolete, sourced through independent channels Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ; no stock-holding claim is made here. ## Mechanical ratings that govern the installation Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — this is the L10 life under continuous rated torque. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance oil changes are needed within that window. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 2100 N for the 30,000-hour life target, or 2800 N if the application accepts a 10,000-hour service life. Maximum radial force applied at mid-distance on the output shaft is 1500 N for 30,000 hours, 2000 N for 10,000 hours. Exceeding these shortens bearing life below the rated hours. Shaft output IP54 — the seal at the output shaft keeps out dust and splashing water, but the gearbox body is not submersible. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. ## Efficiency and noise — the operating signature Efficiency is 94 % — the power loss through the gear train is 6 %, which dissipates as heat. For a 260 N.m continuous output at 100 rpm (roughly 2.7 kW mechanical), the heat loss is about 160 W. The black anodised aluminium housing sheds this through natural convection; forced cooling is not required at the rated duty. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — this is the acoustic signature of the straight-tooth planetary stage under no external torque. Under load the noise rises slightly as the tooth contact force increases, but the 65 dB figure gives a baseline for enclosure sound-proofing estimates.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200321401F Planetary Gearbox, 32:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200321401F planetary gearbox, 32:1 ratio, 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":"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/2667ef950b44b83e02b5cf9c2165c371.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX1200321401F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-321-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200321401F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy GBX1200321401F or check availability?","answer":"Sourced to order through independent distribution against an RFQ."},{"question":"What is the continuous output torque of GBX1200321401F?","answer":"260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum peak torque of 416 N.m at the same speed and temperature."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1200321401F","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1200321401F when reusing this data.
