The GBX0800150701D is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, sized for a 15:1 reduction ratio in a compact 80 mm diameter housing. The continuous output torque is 110 N.m, with a maximum intermittent torque of 176 N.m — the higher figure governs acceleration peaks and emergency stops, while the continuous rating sets the thermal limit for sustained duty. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary at this ratio. The 17 arcmin maximum torsional backlash and 6.5 N.m/arcmin torsional rigidity tell you the windup under load — important for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place axes where the controller expects minimal lost motion.
Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced through surplus channels
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a line-down replacement or a BOM that needs this exact ratio and frame size, the GBX0800150701D can be sourced to order.
Mechanical interface and environmental limits
The gearbox mounts in any position, which simplifies integration into a machine frame. The shaft output carries an IP54 rating — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not submersion. The housing is black anodized aluminium; the shaft is C45 steel. Operating ambient temperature spans -25 to 90 °C. The unit is lubricated for life, so no maintenance schedule for oil changes. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — derate the life figure if the duty cycle runs hotter or faster. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 1200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, dropping to 900 N for the full 30,000-hour rating. Radial force limits are 650 N (30,000 h) and 950 N (10,000 h), both measured at mid-span on the output shaft. These are the load limits that govern bearing life — overshoot them and the gearbox fails before the rated hours.
