Planetary gearbox with 5:1 reduction and 14 N.m continuous torque
The GBX0400051403F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from the Schneider Electric GBX series, with a 40 mm outer diameter and a 5:1 reduction ratio. It delivers a continuous output torque of 14 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a maximum intermittent torque of 22 N.m under the same conditions. Rated efficiency is 94 %, and the no-load noise level is 55 dB measured at 1 m — figures that matter when the gearbox is integrated into a precision motion axis where thermal loss and acoustic signature are design constraints.
Service life, lubrication, and environmental ratings
Service life is specified at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance refill interval. The shaft output carries an IP54 ingress protection rating, meaning the seal at the output shaft resists dust ingress and splashing water, but the gearbox body itself is not rated for washdown environments. Ambient operating temperature spans -25 °C to +90 °C, covering most indoor industrial enclosures and non-condensing outdoor cabinets. The black anodized aluminium housing and C45 steel shaft are standard material choices for this torque class. Maximum radial force (Fr) applied at mid-distance on the output shaft is 200 N for a 10,000-hour life or 160 N for the full 30,000-hour rating, both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Axial force (Fa) limits are identical — 200 N / 160 N under the same duty profiles. These are the load limits that govern real-world coupling selection.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0400051403F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at the time of RFQ.
