The 25:1 ratio drops a motor's output speed by a factor of 25 while multiplying torque — at 100 rpm input the continuous output torque is 40 N.m, with a peak of 64 N.m available for transient loads. Efficiency sits at 94 %, meaning 6 % of the input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh and bearing friction. For a servo or stepper motor application, that heat stays inside the aluminium housing — the black anodized body acts as the heatsink, so the ambient operating range of -25 to 90 °C sets the thermal envelope. The gearbox is lubricated for life at the factory — no oil changes, no grease ports. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, running at the continuous torque limit. That is roughly 3.4 years of 24/7 operation before the backlash or noise drifts outside the design window. ## Load ratings and mechanical limits The output shaft carries C45 steel and accepts both radial and axial loads. Maximum radial force is 340 N applied at mid-shaft for the full 30,000-hour life, or 500 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service interval. Axial force limits are 450 N for the long life, 600 N for the shorter window — both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m per arcminute of wind-up — a 40 N.m load twists the output shaft about 16 arcminutes before the gear teeth take up the slack. The maximum torsional backlash of 20 arcminutes is the total angular play measured at no load; in a positioning axis this sets the repeatability floor unless the controller compensates. Shaft output sealing is IP54, which keeps dust and splashing water out of the bearing cavity. The gearbox body itself is not sealed — the IP rating applies only at the output shaft lip seal. Mounting orientation matters: the breather path (if any) should face downward to avoid pooling water at the seal lip. ## Obsolete — sourced through independent channels No drop-in replacement exists from Schneider with the same frame diameter and ratio.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600250554F Planetary Gearbox, 25:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600250554F planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 25:1 reduction, 40 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm, 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":"25:1","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":"566.4 lbf.in (64 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":"354.03 lbf.in (40 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/96220f8ce0842689342995639024c2d8.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX0600250554F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-251-20arcmin-40-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600250554F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0600250554F?","answer":"The continuous output torque is 40 N.m (354 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
