Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm; the maximum burst torque reaches 416 N.m at the same speed — the gap between continuous and peak tells you the thermal margin for acceleration cycles. Efficiency sits at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary of this ratio — the 6 % loss is mostly gear mesh friction and bearing drag, not heat buildup in the lubricant. ## Mechanical limits that govern the coupling design Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc-minutes — that is the lost motion at the output shaft when reversing direction, and it sets the positioning repeatability floor for the load. The output shaft carries a maximum radial force of 1500 N at 100 rpm for a 30000-hour life, measured at mid-span on the shaft — overshoot that and the bearing race wears prematurely. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 2100 N under the same duty cycle; both radial and axial limits step up to 2000 N and 2800 N respectively if you accept a 10000-hour service life instead. Torsional rigidity is 12 N.m per arc-minute — this is the stiffness the gear train presents to the load; a low value means windup under load that a servo loop has to compensate for. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, but available Schneider Electric lists the GBX1200600704F as obsolete — no official successor part number is published, so any replacement requires a parametric cross-match against the 60:1 ratio, 120 mm frame, and 260 N.m continuous torque. The gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed to IP54 at the shaft output, meaning it is a sealed-for-life unit — no oil changes, but also no way to service the bearings if the seal goes. Service life is rated at 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — derate the life if the duty cycle runs hotter or faster than that baseline.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200600704F Planetary Gearbox, 60:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200600704F planetary gearbox, 60:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
