It delivers 44 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and can handle 70 N.m peak at the same speed. The 94 % efficiency means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That's about 3.4 years of continuous running at rated load. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so there's no oil-change interval to schedule — the grease fill is sealed for the service life. The 20 arc-min maximum torsional backlash is the total angular play between input and output when the direction reverses. For a positioning axis, this sets the repeatability floor — a servo system with a 1000-line encoder sees about 0.33° of lost motion at the output, which matters for index tables or pick-and-place arms but is acceptable for conveyor drives or simple speed reduction. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, sourced to order Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific — each unit's provenance (pulled working from a decommissioned line, new-old-stock, or customer return) is confirmed at RFQ. The 30,000-hour service life rating means a used unit with documented runtime still has predictable remaining life if the load and speed match the original duty. No pin-compatible direct replacement exists within the current Schneider planetary gearbox range. A functional replacement would require a different frame size or mounting interface — expect a mechanical redesign of the bracket and coupling. ## Load limits and overhung capacity The output shaft is C45 steel. Maximum radial force at mid-shaft is 340 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 500 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life. Maximum axial force is 450 N for 30,000 hours, 600 N for 10,000 hours. These are the bearing limits — a belt drive or pinion pushing harder than that will shorten life faster than the torque rating suggests. The housing itself is sealed, but the shaft lip seal is the wet-end boundary. The 30,000-hour life rating is at 30 °C — running at 90 °C ambient will reduce grease life and accelerate seal wear, though the gearbox will still turn. The torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, which means the housing twists about 0.4 arc-min per N.m of applied torque — negligible for most applications but worth knowing for high-stiffness servo axes.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600090554F planetary gearbox, 9:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600090554F planetary gearbox, obsolete. 9:1 reduction, 44 N.m continuous torque, 94 % efficiency, 58 dB noise.","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":"9:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"2.5 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"619.6 lbf.in (70 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":"389.4 lbf.in (44 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":"20 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/243c17d63d15858e96271f4da463c6cd.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0600090554F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-91-20arcmin-44-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600090554F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0600090554F?","answer":"44 N.m (389.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
