Maximum output torque reaches 416 N.m under the same conditions — the continuous figure is your duty-cycle anchor; the maximum is for occasional peak loads, not sustained operation. Torsional rigidity is 12 N.m per arcmin — this tells you how much the output shaft twists under load, relevant for positioning accuracy in indexing or servo-feed axes. Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc.min — the angular play in the gear train before the output engages, a key spec for reversing or start-stop cycles where lost motion affects repeatability. ## Mechanical limits and service life Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule, but the life rating assumes the load stays within the continuous torque envelope. Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 2,100 N for the 30,000-hour life target, or 2,800 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service life — both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Maximum radial force (Fr) is 1,500 N for 30,000 hours, rising to 2,000 N for 10,000 hours — force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft, so belt-drive or chain-sprocket overhung loads need to stay within these limits. Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 to 90 °C — the lubricant and seal materials are specced for that band, but the torque ratings are quoted at 30 °C; derate above that. ## Construction and environmental sealing Housing is black anodized aluminium with a 120 mm external diameter — the shaft output carries an IP54 rating, meaning dust-protected and splash-resistant at the seal face, but not submersible. Shaft material is C45 carbon steel — standard for this class, with adequate hardness for keyed or shrink-disc connections. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m, no-load — a moderate figure for a 60:1 planetary stage; expect a few dB higher under full torque. Efficiency is listed at 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth; the remaining 6 % is frictional and churning loss, which shows up as heat in the housing. ## Lifecycle reality — obsolete, sourced on request No official successor or cross-reference is recorded from the manufacturer — this is a straight-to-surplus-channel part. Sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at quote time; no blanket stock claim.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200601004F planetary gearbox, 60:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200601004F planetary gearbox, 60:1 ratio, 260 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 65 dB noise level.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"65 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"60:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"12 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"3681.9 lbf.in (416 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":"2100 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 2800 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"1500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 2000 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"2301.2 lbf.in (260 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"4.7 in (120 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"14 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/0a73ad6241e102a5784a656ac0efb04a.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1200601004F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-601-14arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200601004F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX1200601004F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
