The maximum output torque reaches 80 N.m under the same conditions, covering intermittent overloads such as acceleration peaks or momentary jams. The 94 % efficiency figure means roughly 6 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the housing. For a 50 N.m continuous load at 100 rpm (about 524 W input), the heat dissipation is roughly 31 W — well within the capacity of the anodized aluminium housing in free air at 30 °C. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — about 3.4 years of continuous operation. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance oil changes are needed within that window. ## Mechanical interface and loading limits The output shaft is C45 steel, and the housing is black anodized aluminium with an external diameter of 80 mm. The shaft output seal carries an IP54 rating — splash protection from the shaft side, but the gearbox body itself is not sealed to the same level; mounting orientation and drip exposure matter. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 1200 N for a 10,000-hour life at 100 rpm and 30 °C, derating to 900 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. Maximum radial force is 650 N at mid-shaft for 30,000 hours, or 950 N for 10,000 hours — these limits govern belt-tension or overhung-load applications. Torsional rigidity is 6 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 9 arcmin. For indexing or positioning applications, the 9 arcmin backlash means a reversal of load direction introduces up to 0.15° of lost motion at the output — acceptable for many conveyor and material-handling axes but not for precision servo positioning without compensation. ## Environmental envelope and acoustic profile Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 °C to 90 °C, covering most indoor industrial environments and some outdoor cabinet applications. Noise level is 60 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — roughly the level of a quiet office conversation, which suits noise-sensitive production areas. The straight-tooth gear geometry is inherently noisier than helical gearing at higher speeds, but the 60 dB figure at no-load suggests the 8:1 reduction keeps pitch-line velocities moderate. Under load, expect a modest increase in acoustic emission.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0800080553F Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0800080553F planetary gearbox, 8:1 ratio, 50 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":"60 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"8:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"6 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"708.06 lbf.in (80 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":"1200 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 900 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"650 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 950 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"442.5 lbf.in (50 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"3.1 in (80 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"9 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/f8045000d033ed41e664856b5340e4cf.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX0800080553F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-80-mm-reduction-81-9arcmin-50-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0800080553F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX0800080553F?","answer":"50 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
