Continuous output torque is rated 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 70 N.m under the same conditions. Service life is specified at 30,000 hours at rated load and temperature — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no field maintenance interval for oil changes. The 94% efficiency figure means about 6% of input power is lost as heat through the planetary stages. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0600121404F as obsolete. This gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a BOM freeze or a line-down replacement, the functional specs (12:1 ratio, 44 N.m continuous, 60 mm diameter, straight teeth) define the replacement envelope. A direct drop-in from another manufacturer would need to match the mounting flange, shaft dimensions, and keyway — confirm those against the mating motor and load before committing. ## Mechanical ratings that govern the fit Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min — this is the lost motion under reversing loads. For positioning applications that need better than 0.3° repeatability, a lower-backlash gearbox (e.g. 5-10 arc.min) would be a tighter fit. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, which defines how much the output shaft twists under load. The output shaft carries a maximum axial force of 450 N and a maximum radial force of 340 N when the load is applied at mid-span, both rated for the full 30,000-hour service life. At 10,000-hour life, axial capacity rises to 600 N and radial to 500 N. The shaft material is C45 carbon steel; the housing is black anodized aluminium with IP54 protection at the shaft output — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. Noise level at 1 m under no-load is 58 dB — typical for a straight-tooth planetary stage of this size.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600121404F planetary gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600121404F 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/52cb920a592b469fb716deb59545a39b.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX0600121404F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-121-20arcmin-44-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600121404F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX0600121404F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
