Planetary gearbox — 100:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous
The GBX1201001402F is a planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric with a 100:1 reduction ratio, delivering a continuous output torque of 260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and a maximum output torque of 416 N.m under the same conditions. Rated efficiency is 94 % — losses are low enough that forced cooling is not required in most duty cycles, but the 30000-hour service life at rated load assumes the gearbox is operated within the torque and speed envelope specified.
Mechanical ratings that govern the application
Torsional rigidity is 12 N.m/arcmin, with a maximum torsional backlash of 14 arc.min — this gearbox is not intended for zero-backlash positioning; it suits indexing and conveying where the lost motion is acceptable. Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the 30000-hour life target, and 2800 N for a 10000-hour duty cycle. Radial force Fr at the mid-point of the output shaft is 1500 N and 2000 N respectively. The housing is black anodized aluminium with an external diameter of 120 mm; the shaft is C 45 steel. IP54 protection at the shaft output means it resists dust ingress and splashing water — suitable for washdown areas if the mating motor and seals are similarly rated.
Lifecycle status — obsolete, sourced through surplus channels
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX1201001402F as obsolete. This part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ; no stock-holding claim is made. The gearbox is lubricated for life and does not require field maintenance beyond the rated service interval.
