5:1 planetary — 40 N.m continuous, 64 N.m peak
The GBX0600050554F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with straight-cut teeth and a 5:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is 40 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum output torque hits 64 N.m under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at the continuous torque rating — the gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed to IP54 at the shaft output, so it's a fit-and-forget component in a clean, dry enclosure.
Efficiency, noise, and thermal limits
Listed efficiency is 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio. The 58 dB noise level at 1 m, no-load, means it runs quieter than a typical AC induction motor on the same mount. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments. The black anodised aluminium housing and C45 steel shaft are standard for this torque class. Maximum torsional backlash is 16 arc.min — this is a commercial-grade positioning gearbox, not a zero-backlash servo unit. For indexing or positioning applications that need tighter repeatability, budget a backlash-compensation pass or look at a higher-precision series.
