No direct successor is listed, so any remaining stock is what's left in independent distribution. This is a last-time-buy situation — if your BOM still calls this 60 mm planetary gearbox, the available quantities shrink every month. We source this part through surplus and broker channels against an RFQ. ## Torque ratings — continuous vs peak, and what drives the real choice Continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C — this is the rating that governs steady-state operation. The maximum output torque reaches 29 N.m under the same conditions, but that's a peak figure for acceleration or momentary overload, not sustained duty. The 8:1 reduction ratio means the input speed is eight times the output speed, with torque multiplied by roughly the same factor minus the 94 % efficiency loss. That 6 % loss turns into heat inside the sealed housing — lubricated for life, so there's no oil-change interval, but the thermal budget is fixed. Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin — this tells you how much the gear train winds up under load. For indexing or positioning applications where angular accuracy matters, that wind-up adds to the 16 arc.min maximum backlash. Combined, they set the repeatability floor. ## Service life, loads, and where it fits Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the output shaft sealed to IP54. That ingress rating means it's splash-resistant but not washdown-rated — keep it out of direct hose spray or steam cleaning. 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 life. Radial force limits are 340 N and 500 N respectively, measured at mid-span on the shaft. These numbers govern belt-drive or overhung-load applications — exceed them and the bearing life drops fast. The 60 mm outer diameter and black anodized aluminium housing with C45 steel shaft make this a compact, corrosion-resistant package for servo or stepper motor output stages in light industrial machinery. Ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, so it's fine in unheated plant environments but not inside an oven. ## Noise and vibration — what 58 dB means on the line Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load, with straight-cut teeth. That's quieter than a typical conveyor drive but louder than a helical gearbox of the same size. If your application runs near operator stations, this spec tells you whether you need an acoustic enclosure.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX0600081003F Planetary Gearbox, 8:1, 18 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600081003F planetary gearbox, 8:1 reduction, 18 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 60 mm diameter.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"58 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"8:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"2.3 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"256.7 lbf.in (29 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Nbr. of units in pkg.":"1","Service life in hours":"30000 h 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"450 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 600 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"340 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"159.3 lbf.in (18 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"2.4 in (60 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"16 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-13...194 °F (-25...90 °C)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/1f207372efc4483b545f6ae719ce22fc.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX0600081003F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-81-16arcmin-18-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600081003F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0600081003F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
