The 100:1 reduction ratio drops a 1500 rpm input to 15 rpm output — sized for indexing tables, conveyor drives, or positioning axes where speed is traded for torque multiplication. Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm; the maximum short-duration peak is 416 N.m at the same speed. The continuous figure governs the duty cycle — design around 260 N.m if the application runs more than a few minutes per cycle. Torsional rigidity is 12 N.m/arcmin, meaning each N.m of load twists the output about 0.08 arcmin — relevant for position error budgeting in servo-driven axes. Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc.min — standard precision for a planetary gearbox in this class; acceptable for general motion but not for high-accuracy indexing without encoder compensation. ## Load limits and service life Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — about 3.4 years of continuous operation. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N for the 30000-hour life, or 2800 N if the application accepts a 10000-hour life. Maximum radial force Fr at mid-span on the output shaft is 1500 N for 30000 hours, 2000 N for 10000 hours. These limits drop with higher speeds — the 100 rpm condition is the reference. ## Efficiency and noise — operating envelope 94 % efficiency means 6 % of input power becomes heat — for a 1 kW input that is 60 W thermal load inside the housing. The black anodized aluminium body dissipates this without forced cooling in most indoor installations. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — comparable to a quiet office printer. Under load the level rises with torque; the straight-tooth gear cut is inherently noisier than helical, so expect higher levels under full torque.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1201001401F Planetary Gearbox, 100:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1201001401F planetary gearbox. 100:1 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":"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/697b8d1a96d83883fc8ecf2afceda3aa.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX1201001401F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-1001-14arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1201001401F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX1201001401F?","answer":"260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
