Its continuous output torque is 260 N.m (2301.2 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that is the steady-state limit for sizing; the maximum output torque of 416 N.m (3681.9 lbf.in) at the same speed is for peak loads only, not continuous duty. Efficiency is 94 %, which is respectable for a single-stage straight-tooth planetary — expect some power loss to heat, but it stays within the lubricated-for-life sealed housing. The 30000-hour service life at rated load (100 rpm, 30 °C) sets the replacement interval for a BOM line; if the application runs at higher ambient or speed, derate accordingly. Torsional backlash is 12 arcmin maximum — that is moderate precision, suitable for indexing and positioning where repeatability matters but not for ultra-precision servo axes. The torsional rigidity of 13 N.m/arcmin gives a feel for how much wind-up you get under load. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — obsolete, quoted to order Schneider Electric lists the GBX1200200553F as obsolete. No official successor is published. The part is sourced through independent distribution and surplus channels — quantities are confirmed at RFQ, and the price depends on lot size and condition (new-in-box vs pulls). Because the gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed, there is no field-maintenance schedule. The IP54 shaft output means it is protected against dust and splashing water but not washdown — keep it out of direct hose-down zones. For a BOM freeze or a line-down replacement, confirm axial and radial load limits against your actual load profile before committing. ## Mounting and integration notes 120 mm diameter black anodized aluminium housing, shaft material C45 steel. The straight-tooth planetary design is inherently compact for the torque class — plan the mounting flange and output coupling to handle the 1500 N radial force (at 100 rpm, mid-shaft, 30000 h life) and 2100 N axial force under the same conditions. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for indoor machinery near operators. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, so it works in unheated spaces or near hot motors as long as the gearbox itself stays within the rated temperature window.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200200553F Planetary Gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200200553F planetary gearbox. 20:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
