Planetary gearbox — 4:1 reduction, 38 N.m continuous
The GBX0600041404F is a 60 mm diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with straight-cut teeth and a 4:1 reduction ratio. It delivers 38 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, with a maximum of 61 N.m at the same speed. Efficiency is listed at 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth, where the power loss is mostly in the bearing and seal drag, not the gear mesh itself. Noise measures 58 dB at 1 m under no-load, which is quiet enough for a packaging line or conveyor drive mounted inside a cabinet.
Torque, backlash, and service life — the numbers that matter for fit
Continuous torque is 38 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; peak torque hits 61 N.m under the same conditions. The 16 arc.min maximum torsional backlash means this is a standard-precision gearbox — fine for positioning conveyors or rotary tables where the load doesn't reverse direction under full torque, but not for a servo axis that needs <5 arcmin repeatability. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — about 3.4 years of continuous operation. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept 10,000 hours. Radial force limits are 340 N (30,000 h) and 500 N (10,000 h), measured at mid-shaft. The shaft output seal is IP54 — splash-resistant but not washdown-rated.
Obsolete — sourced through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600041404F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a BOM that needs this exact ratio and frame size, the 60 mm diameter, 4:1 reduction, and 38 N.m continuous torque are the fit criteria. No pin-compatible drop-in replacement exists from Schneider's current GBX catalog; a functional replacement would require matching the mounting flange, shaft dimensions, and input interface.
