That 96 % figure is the mechanical efficiency through the planetary stage — only 4 % of the input power is lost as heat, which keeps the 60 mm black anodised aluminium housing within its thermal budget in continuous duty. Continuous output torque is 40 N.m, with a maximum peak of 64 N.m for transient loads. The gap between continuous and peak is the overload margin — a servo application that cycles above 40 N.m needs to stay under 64 N.m and respect the duty cycle implied by the 30000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C. ## Stiffness, backlash, and load ratings — what they mean for positioning Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin — under a 40 N.m continuous load the output shaft twists about 17 arcminutes. That windup is repeatable and can be compensated in the controller if the application demands it, but it sets a floor on positioning accuracy. Maximum backlash is 20 arc.min, which is standard precision for a straight-tooth planetary — not a low-backlash or zero-backlash grade, so a pick-and-place or indexing axis that needs under 10 arcmin of lost motion needs a different gearbox variant. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N at 100 rpm for the full 30000-hour life, or 600 N if the application only needs 10000 hours. Radial force limits are 340 N and 500 N respectively, measured at mid-span on the output shaft. These are the bearing-life ratings — exceeding them shortens the service life below the 30000-hour baseline, not an immediate failure threshold. ## Mounting, sealing, and environmental fit The gearbox mounts in any position, which simplifies integration into existing machine layouts — horizontal, vertical shaft-up, or vertical shaft-down all work without derating. The shaft output seal is rated IP54, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not against pressurised washdown or immersion. In a food-processing or washdown zone, the IP54 shaft exit needs a secondary cover or boot if the machine is hosed down directly. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments and unheated warehouses. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil-change interval, no breather, no maintenance schedule for the lubrication system. The C 45 steel shaft is standard medium-carbon steel, hard-wearing but not stainless; in a corrosive atmosphere the shaft extension may need a protective coating. ## Noise and inertia — acoustic and dynamic profile Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — roughly the sound of a quiet office or a library. Under load the noise rises, but the straight-tooth planetary mesh is inherently noisier than a helical stage; if the gearbox is mounted on a resonant structure or near an operator station, the 58 dB no-load figure is a floor, not a guarantee. Moment of inertia reflected to the input is 0.078 g.cm² — low enough that a small servo or stepper motor can accelerate the gearbox without a significant torque penalty for the rotor inertia.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600050583D Planetary Gearbox","metaDescription":"Active-production Schneider GBX0600050583D planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 5:1 reduction, 40 N.m continuous torque, 96 % efficiency, IP54 shaft output.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX0600050583D","Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"58 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 60 mm- reduction 5:1- < 20arcmin- 40 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"5:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"0.078 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"2.3 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"64 N.m","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"450 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 600 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"340 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 500 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"40 N.m","Gearbox external diameter":"60 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"20 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/5882bc3758815bda1bef71e66506b7ab.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0600050583D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-51-20arcmin-40-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0600050583D","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0600050583D when reusing this data.
