The planetary layout delivers higher torque density than a parallel-shaft reducer in the same envelope — the 260 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 416 N.m peak cover sustained conveyor or indexing loads with startup headroom. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat inside the gearbox. For a 3 kW motor at full load, that is roughly 180 W of thermal dissipation — enough to need free air around the black anodized aluminium housing in a confined panel or enclosure. Maximum torsional backlash is 14 arc-min. In a reversing or positioning axis, that 14 arc-min of angular play at the output shaft translates to about 0.24 mm of linear error on a 100 mm lever arm — acceptable for general material handling but too loose for precision indexing without a downstream encoder. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, no direct successor Schneider Electric lists the GBX1200601401F as obsolete. Sourcing runs through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific, and availability is confirmed at RFQ time against the BOM line. The 30,000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C is the design lifetime under rated load. If the gearbox is already in service, the remaining life depends on actual duty cycle and ambient temperature — the -25 to 90 °C operating range is wide, but sustained high temperature accelerates lubricant breakdown despite the 'lubricated for life' fill. ## Mounting and load ratings — what fits and what doesn't The 120 mm external diameter and C 45 steel output shaft define the mounting interface. Maximum radial force Fr is 1500 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N under the same conditions. Exceed these and the bearing life drops below the design window. Shaft output IP54 means the gearbox body is dust-protected and splash-resistant, but the shaft seal is the wet-end barrier — not rated for washdown or hose-down environments. The noise level is 65 dB at 1 m no-load, which is audible but below the 85 dB threshold where hearing protection is typically required in industrial settings.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200601401F Planetary Gearbox, 60:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200601401F planetary gearbox, 60:1 ratio, 260 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":"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/27906e523dcfec9f7358cafac97c388c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX1200601401F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-601-14arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200601401F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the GBX1200601401F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"The continuous output torque is 260 N.m (2301.2 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
