Planetary construction packs high torque density into a compact envelope — the 60 mm housing diameter keeps the assembly short on the motor shaft. Continuous output torque is 40 N.m (354.03 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Maximum output torque — the peak the gearbox can handle without immediate damage — is 64 N.m (566.4 lbf.in) under the same conditions. The continuous figure is the one to size against for steady-state loads; the maximum covers occasional overloads like acceleration peaks or jams. Efficiency is 94 % at rated load — about 6 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear mesh and bearings. That loss matters for thermal management in enclosed spaces and for total system power draw calculations. ## Lifecycle reality — this part is obsolete Sourcing runs through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific — confirmed at RFQ. If you need a direct replacement, a parametric search within the same 60 mm planetary family is the next step; no pin-compatible drop-in exists on the OEM's current price list. ## Service life, backlash, and load limits — planning the replacement interval Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That is about 3.4 years of continuous operation. If the duty cycle is lower or the load lighter, the life extends; higher speeds or temperatures shorten it. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.minutes. That is the lost motion between input and output when the direction reverses — relevant for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place applications. If your application needs tighter repeatability, a gearbox with lower backlash (e.g., 5–10 arc.min) would be a better fit. Axial force limit on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour life. Radial force limit (applied mid-shaft) is 340 N for 30,000 hours, 500 N for 10,000 hours. Both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. These numbers govern how much belt tension or overhung load the output bearing can take before life drops. Shaft output protection is IP54 — the output seal resists dust ingress and splashing water. The gearbox body is black anodized aluminium; the shaft is C45 carbon steel. ## Noise and environmental ratings Noise level is 55 dB measured at 1 m, no-load. That puts it in the quiet range for a planetary gearbox of this size — comparable to a quiet office. For noise-sensitive environments (laboratory equipment, medical devices, or near-operator stations), this is a useful spec to confirm against the local noise limit. Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 °C to 90 °C (-13 °F to 194 °F). That covers most indoor industrial environments and some outdoor cabinets, but the torque ratings above are all quoted at 30 °C — expect derating at elevated temperatures.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600400703F Planetary Gearbox, 40:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600400703F planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 40:1 ratio, 40 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":"55 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"40:1","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/ce4cab2cf6a8340d500daea2ffc2b59f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0600400703F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-401-20arcmin-40-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600400703F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0600400703F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 40 N.m (354.03 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
