At 100 rpm input the continuous output torque is 260 N.m (2301.2 lbf.in) at 30 °C, with a peak capability of 416 N.m (3681.9 lbf.in) — the gap between continuous and maximum defines the overload duty cycle you can sustain without exceeding the 30000-hour service life target. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, meaning 6 % of the transmitted power converts to heat inside the housing. For a 260 N.m load at 100 rpm (about 2.7 kW input), that's roughly 160 W of thermal loss that the black anodized aluminium housing must dissipate — relevant if the gearbox is enclosed in a non-ventilated machine frame. ## Backlash, bearing loads, and noise floor Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arcmin — this is the lost motion between input and output when reversing direction. For positioning applications (indexing tables, pick-and-place axes) this sets the repeatability floor; a lower-backlash gearbox would be needed if the system requires sub-arcminute positioning. The output shaft carries a maximum axial force of 2100 N and a maximum radial force of 1500 N at 100 rpm over the 30000-hour life, with higher loads permissible for shorter durations (2800 N axial, 2000 N radial at 10000 hours). These limits govern how much overhung load or thrust the output bearing can tolerate before life is reduced — a chain sprocket or belt pulley mounted on the shaft must be sized to stay within these radial force limits. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — this is the acoustic baseline from gear mesh and bearing noise. Under load the level will rise; the straight-tooth geometry is inherently noisier than helical gearing at the same power level. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels The part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at time of RFQ. No pin-compatible or dimensionally identical replacement is documented by the manufacturer — any substitution requires a mechanical re-evaluation of the mounting interface and output shaft dimensions. The gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed to IP54 at the shaft output — splash-resistant but not suitable for washdown environments. The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1201000554F Planetary Gearbox, 100:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1201000554F planetary gearbox, 100:1 reduction, 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":"100:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"12 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":"14 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/a699ec8f2643d30e2e1232ec583cd0b0.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX1201000554F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-1001-14arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1201000554F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous output torque of the GBX1201000554F at 100 rpm?","answer":"260 N.m (2301.2 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
