The Schneider Electric GBX040008K is a straight-tooth gearbox designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise speed reduction. This unit is part of the GBX series, known for its robust construction and reliable performance in demanding environments. With a nominal output shaft diameter of 40 mm, it offers a significant reduction ratio of 8:1, making it suitable for applications where torque multiplication and controlled output speed are critical.

Technical details

• Gearbox Type: Straight Tooth Gearbox
• Series: GBX
• Output Shaft Diameter: 40 mm
• Reduction Ratio: 8:1
• Housing Material: Typically cast iron or aluminum alloy for durability (verify with datasheet)
• Mounting Options: Designed for flange or foot mounting (verify with datasheet)
• Lubrication: Requires appropriate industrial gearbox oil (verify type and capacity with datasheet)
• Operating Temperature Range: Standard industrial operating temperatures (verify with datasheet)

Applications & compatibility

This GBX series gearbox is commonly integrated into machinery requiring controlled rotational speed and increased torque, such as conveyor systems, packaging equipment, material handling solutions, and machine tool drives. Its 8:1 reduction ratio makes it ideal for applications where a motor's high speed needs to be converted into a slower, more powerful output rotation. Compatibility should be verified with the specific motor and control system being utilized.
