The continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm (86 °F), with a maximum intermittent torque of 416 N.m at the same speed — so the gearbox can handle short overloads roughly 60 % above its continuous rating without damage. Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin, meaning each arc-minute of windup under load requires 13 N.m of torque — a useful number if you're sizing this into a servo-driven indexing table where positioning repeatability matters. The maximum torsional backlash is 12 arc.min, so expect about 0.2° of lost motion at the output before the load engages. ## Sourcing an obsolete gearbox Schneider Electric lists this part as obsolete. The gearbox is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are confirmed at RFQ and are lot-specific. For a line-down situation, the 94 % efficiency and 30,000-hour service life at rated load (100 rpm, 30 °C) mean a used unit with documented run hours may still have substantial remaining life. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — splash-resistant but not submersible. The housing is black anodized aluminium, and the shaft material is C45 steel. Lubrication is sealed for life, so no maintenance schedule for grease changes. ## Axial and radial load limits — don't overshoot the overhung load Maximum axial force (Fa) is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 2800 N if you accept a 10,000-hour life. Radial force (Fr) applied at mid-span on the output shaft is 1500 N for 30,000 hours or 2000 N for 10,000 hours. If your application pushes past these numbers, the bearing life drops faster than the derating curve suggests — budget a replacement interval.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200200554F Planetary Gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Obsolete planetary gearbox, 20:1 ratio, 260 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 65 dB noise.
