Sourcing runs through independent distribution — quantities confirmed at RFQ, no minimum commitment on a single unit. ## Torque delivery at the output shaft Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; the maximum allowable output torque reaches 70 N.m under the same conditions. The 12:1 reduction ratio steps motor speed down while multiplying torque — a common fit for indexing tables, conveyor drives, and positioning stages where the motor runs at higher RPM and the load needs slower, higher-torque rotation. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at the continuous torque figure. That is roughly 3.4 years of 24/7 operation before the gear train reaches end-of-life — a solid baseline for production machinery with scheduled maintenance windows. ## Mechanical limits and integration The gearbox carries a maximum axial force (Fa) of 450 N and a maximum radial force (Fr) of 340 N, both measured at 100 rpm over the 30,000-hour service life. Radial force is specified at the midpoint of the output shaft — overhung loads from pulleys or sprockets need to stay within that envelope or the bearing life drops. Torsional backlash is rated at 20 arc.min maximum. For a 12:1 ratio planetary this is a standard precision grade — acceptable for general positioning but not for high-accuracy indexing where cumulative backlash would overshoot the target. The housing is black anodized aluminium, 60 mm diameter, with a C45 steel output shaft. Shaft output seal is IP54 — splash-proof but not washdown-rated. Straight-tooth planetary gearing runs at 58 dB at 1 m, no-load. Noise rises under load but stays within typical industrial background levels. The unit is lubricated for life — no oil changes or regreasing intervals in the maintenance schedule. ## Efficiency and thermal range Rated efficiency is 94 % — a typical figure for a single-stage planetary at this ratio.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600120704F Planetary Gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600120704F planetary gearbox, 12:1 ratio, 44 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
