4:1 planetary reduction in a 60 mm envelope
The GBX0600041402F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, delivering a 4:1 reduction ratio. Planetary construction means the input and output shafts are coaxial, which simplifies mounting in servo-driven linear axes or rotary indexing stations where space along the motor axis is tight.
Torque and life ratings under load
Continuous output torque is 38 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a maximum peak of 61 N.m under the same conditions. The 30000-hour service life at these ratings means the gearbox is specced for a three-shift operation over roughly four calendar years before the grease degrades — the unit is lubricated for life, so no re-greasing interval is in the maintenance schedule. Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin, which together with the 16 arcmin maximum backlash defines the positioning repeatability. For a pick-and-place cycle with a 4:1 ratio, each arcmin of output backlash translates to roughly 0.25 arcmin at the motor — acceptable for general indexing but not zero-backlash servo applications. The shaft output carries an IP54 rating, meaning it resists dust ingress and splashing water — adequate for most machine-tool and conveyor environments but not washdown. Axial force on the output shaft is limited to 450 N for the full 30000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept 10000-hour life; radial force at mid-shaft is 340 N for 30000 hours, 500 N for 10000 hours. These limits drive bearing selection in the driven mechanism.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0600041402F as obsolete. No official successor part number is published in the lifecycle record. This gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ time. The 94 % efficiency and 58 dB noise level at 1 m no-load remain valid for any unit sourced — these are mechanical properties of the planetary design, not batch-dependent.
