15:1 planetary gearbox — 230 N.m continuous, 94 % efficiency
The GBX1200151001F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with a 120 mm housing diameter and a 15:1 reduction ratio. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, and the maximum torsional backlash is 12 arc.min — the backlash spec matters for positioning accuracy in pick-and-place or rotary indexing where reversal error accumulates.
Mechanical ratings and service life
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval to schedule. Maximum radial force Fr is 1500 N at 100 rpm (30,000-hour life) applied at mid-distance from the output shaft; maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N under the same duty cycle. These limits set the overhung load budget for the driven pulley or sprocket. Shaft output protection is IP54, suitable for indoor environments with dust and splash exposure but not washdown. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — typical for a straight-tooth planetary of this size; helical alternatives would run quieter but at higher cost and lower efficiency.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX1200151001F as obsolete. Available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ.
