Its continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm at 30 °C, and it can handle a maximum output torque of 29 N.m at the same speed and temperature — the margin above continuous covers intermittent overloads during acceleration or reversing, not sustained running. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation at that speed. If the application runs faster or hotter, the actual life shortens; the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval resets the clock. Efficiency is 96 %, which means 4 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the housing. At 18 N.m output and 100 rpm, that is roughly 7.5 W of heat to dissipate through the black anodized aluminium body — fine in free air, but if the gearbox is enclosed or near other heat sources, derate the duty cycle. ## Sourcing this obsolete gearbox Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600080573G as obsolete. No direct pin-compatible drop-in from Schneider's current GBX family is documented. ## Mechanical limits and mounting flexibility The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not submersion or high-pressure washdown. The gearbox can be mounted in any position, which simplifies integration into tight machine frames. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour life. Radial force limits are 340 N and 500 N respectively, with the force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. Exceeding these loads accelerates bearing wear and reduces service life. Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin — this tells you how much the gear train winds up under load. For positioning applications, the maximum torsional backlash of 16 arc.min is the lost motion on reversal; if your servo loop needs tighter than that, this straight-tooth gearbox may not hold the position window. Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 to 90 °C. The C 45 steel shaft and black anodized aluminium housing handle most factory floor environments, but sustained operation near the 90 °C ceiling will shorten the grease life and the 30,000-hour service interval.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600080573G Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600080573G planetary gearbox, 8:1 reduction, 18 N.m continuous torque, 96% efficiency.
