It delivers 38 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 61 N.m under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at nominal load and speed — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no scheduled oil changes in the field. ## Torque, backlash, and what they mean for your axis Continuous torque of 38 N.m is the figure to size against your duty cycle — the 61 N.m peak rating covers acceleration and deceleration transients, not sustained load. Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin, which means the shaft wind-up under full continuous torque is about 16.5 arcmin of twist. Maximum torsional backlash is 16 arcmin — this is the lost motion on reversal. For positioning axes that reverse direction under load, that 16 arcmin is the repeatability floor; a servo with encoder feedback can compensate, but an open-loop stepper cannot. Efficiency is rated at 96 % at full load, so the thermal loss is roughly 4 % of the transmitted power. For a 38 N.m output at 100 rpm (~400 W mechanical), that's about 16 W of heat dissipated through the aluminium housing. ## Mounting, sealing, and environmental limits Mounting position is unrestricted — the gearbox can be oriented any way. The shaft output seal is rated IP54, which means it's dust-protected and splash-resistant, but not suitable for pressurized washdown or submersion. Ambient operating range is -25 °C to +90 °C. The shaft material is C45 carbon steel; the housing is black anodized aluminium. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service interval. Maximum radial force applied at mid-shaft is 340 N for 30,000 hours, or 500 N for 10,000 hours — both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. If your application overhangs a pulley or sprocket on the output shaft, check the radial load against these limits. Sourced through independent distribution channels. Same part, different passport — genuine is genuine regardless of which regional stock it ships from.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600040702F planetary gearbox","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600040702F planetary gearbox, 4:1 ratio, 38 N.m continuous torque, 96% efficiency, IP54 shaft output.
