Torque and reduction — what the ratings mean
The GBX0400081001F: The 8:1 reduction ratio transforms input speed to output torque — at 100 rpm input, the output delivers 6 N.m continuous and peaks at 10 N.m maximum. The 94 % efficiency means only 6 % of input power is lost as heat — relevant for duty cycles where thermal buildup limits runtime. Maximum torsional backlash is 30 arc.min — this is the angular play between input and output under reversing loads, a factor for positioning accuracy in indexing applications.
Mechanical limits and environmental fit
Axial force on the output shaft is rated 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for 30,000 hours; radial force follows the same profile — both measured at mid-span on the shaft. Operating temperature range spans -25 to 90 °C, with IP54 protection at the shaft output — suitable for indoor industrial environments with limited dust or splash exposure. The gearbox is lubricated for life, eliminating routine oil changes — a maintenance advantage in sealed-drive assemblies.
