Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric classified the GBX1201001401F as obsolete.
The 100:1 reduction ratio drops a 1500 rpm input to 15 rpm output — sized for indexing tables, conveyor drives, or positioning axes where speed is traded for torque multiplication. Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm; the maximum short-duration peak is 416 N.m at the same speed. The continuous figure governs the duty cycle — design around 260 N.m if the application runs more than a few minutes per cycle. Torsional rigidity is 12 N.m/arcmin, meaning each N.m of load twists the output about 0.08 arcmin — relevant for position error budgeting in servo-driven axes. Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc.min — standard precision for a planetary gearbox in this class; acceptable for general motion but not for high-accuracy indexing without encoder compensation.
Load limits and service life
Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — about 3.4 years of continuous operation. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N for the 30000-hour life, or 2800 N if the application accepts a 10000-hour life. Maximum radial force Fr at mid-span on the output shaft is 1500 N for 30000 hours, 2000 N for 10000 hours. These limits drop with higher speeds — the 100 rpm condition is the reference.
Efficiency and noise — operating envelope
94 % efficiency means 6 % of input power becomes heat — for a 1 kW input that is 60 W thermal load inside the housing. The black anodized aluminium body dissipates this without forced cooling in most indoor installations. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — comparable to a quiet office printer. Under load the level rises with torque; the straight-tooth gear cut is inherently noisier than helical, so expect higher levels under full torque.
