The GBX0400051002F is a 40 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with a 5:1 reduction ratio, delivering 14 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That continuous rating is the number to size against your motor's stall torque and duty cycle — the maximum output torque of 22 N.m is a short-term peak, not a steady-state limit. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary of this size. The 24 arc.min maximum torsional backlash places it in the standard-precision class — adequate for positioning conveyors or indexing tables, but not for a zero-backlash servo axis.
Obsolete — lifecycle reality and sourcing path
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. The 30,000-hour service life at rated load means a used unit from a decommissioned line may still have useful life left — verify operating hours against the nameplate.
Mounting and environmental fit
The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material C45 steel. Shaft output is rated IP54 — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not submersion. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments. Lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes. The straight-tooth design is inherently noisier than helical; the 55 dB at 1 m no-load is a baseline; expect higher under load.
