The GBX0400091402F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, 40 mm external diameter, with a 9:1 reduction ratio. That ratio means the output shaft turns once for every nine input revolutions — the torque multiplier is roughly the inverse of the ratio, less friction losses. Continuous output torque is 16.5 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum output torque (short-duration peak) is 26 N.m at the same speed and temperature. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary of this size. The 28 arcmin maximum torsional backlash tells you the angular play between input and output when the direction reverses — relevant for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place applications.
Load ratings and environmental limits — what fits and what doesn't
Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life at 30 °C, derating to 160 N for 30,000-hour life. Maximum radial force (applied at mid-shaft) follows the same 200 N / 160 N split under identical conditions. These are the bearing life constraints — exceeding them shortens service life faster than torque overload. The shaft output seal carries an IP54 rating — splash protection from the output side, but the gearbox body itself is not sealed for washdown. The housing is black anodized aluminium; shaft material is C45 steel. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — a moderate figure for a straight-tooth planetary. Lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval in the maintenance schedule.
Obsolete — sourcing reality for the GBX0400091402F
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0400091402F as obsolete. For a BOM that requires this exact 40 mm, 9:1 planetary with 16.5 N.m continuous torque, the obsolete status means the procurement path is surplus or broker stock. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement from Schneider's current GBX family has been published.
