That 12:1 means the output shaft turns once for every twelve input revolutions — torque multiplies by roughly the same factor, minus the 94 % efficiency loss. The continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; the maximum output torque (short-term, same speed and temperature) is 70 N.m. Planetary construction (coaxial input/output, torque split across multiple planet gears) gives this form factor a higher torque density than a parallel-shaft box of the same diameter. The straight-tooth gear set keeps cost down but produces more audible whine than a helical — the noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load. ## Service life, backlash, and the lubrication detail Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That's about 3.4 years of continuous running — a solid baseline for a pick-and-place axis or conveyor drive that runs one shift. The maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min, which is standard precision for a straight-tooth planetary; reversal applications (positioning with load reversal) will see that much lost motion before the output engages. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil-change interval, no breather, no level check. The shaft output seal is rated IP54, so it keeps out dust and splash but isn't rated for washdown. Housing is black anodized aluminium; shaft material is C45 steel. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600120552F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No pin-compatible or dimensionally identical drop-in replacement is documented by Schneider.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600120552F Planetary Gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600120552F planetary gearbox, 12:1 reduction, 44 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","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":"12:1","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/768b50f4b43d19688533ec1913d452be.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX0600120552F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-121-20arcmin-44-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600120552F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0600120552F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"44 N.m (389.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
