Planetary gearbox for precision motion — 80 mm frame, 15:1 ratio
The GBX0800151002F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox in the 80 mm diameter frame, delivering a 15:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is 110 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 176 N.m under the same conditions. Efficiency sits at 94 %, and the torsional rigidity is 6.5 N.m/arcmin — the stiffness matters for positioning accuracy in servo-driven indexing or pick-and-place axes where the load reverses direction. Shaft output carries an IP54 rating, meaning the output seal handles dust and splash — fine for most machine-tool and packaging-line environments, but not washdown.
Load capacity and service life — the numbers that govern the fit
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that is about 3.4 years of continuous running at that speed. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 1200 N for a 10,000-hour life, dropping to 900 N if you need the full 30,000-hour window. Maximum radial force (Fr) applied mid-span on the output shaft is 950 N at 10,000 hours or 650 N at 30,000 hours — the radial limit is the one that typically bites you when a belt pulley or chain sprocket overhangs the shaft. Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc.min — standard precision for this class of planetary. If your application needs tighter positioning repeatability (under 5 arc.min), this unit won't hold it; you'd step up to a low-backlash or precision series.
Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, available through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0800151002F as obsolete. The part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. The housing is black anodized aluminium; the shaft is C45 steel. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. Noise level at 1 m, no-load, is 60 dB — roughly the hum of a quiet office, so it won't dominate the machine noise floor.
