40 mm planetary, 4:1, 15 N.m continuous — what it delivers
The GBX0400041002F is a 40 mm diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX family, with a 4:1 reduction ratio and straight-cut teeth. It delivers 15 N.m continuous output torque (24 N.m peak) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with 94 % efficiency across the operating band. Backlash is rated at 30 arc.min maximum — a standard-precision class that suits indexing and positioning where the load doesn't reverse frequently. Torsional rigidity is 1 N.m/arcmin, so the windup under load is predictable for sizing the servo loop.
Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted per RFQ
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0400041002F obsolete. The part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ time. For volume or scheduled requirements, submit a BOM-level RFQ.
Mechanical constraints — shaft loads, seal, and service life
The output shaft is C45 steel with a black anodized aluminium housing. Shaft output sealing is IP54 — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown. Maximum axial force is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. Radial force follows the same profile: 200 N peak, 160 N sustained, applied at mid-distance on the output shaft. The gearbox is lubricated for life and rated for 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for lab or light assembly lines.
