The GBX0600080554F: The continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C — this is the thermal limit for sustained operation, not a peak. The maximum output torque reaches 29 N.m at the same speed and temperature, which covers acceleration peaks and occasional overloads within the 30,000-hour service life target. Efficiency is 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. The 6 % loss shows up as heat in the housing — at 18 N.m and 100 rpm the thermal dissipation is about 12 W, well within the black anodised aluminium housing's capability without forced cooling.
Sourcing this gearbox — lifecycle reality
Availability is through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific — confirmed at RFQ time. The 30,000-hour service life at rated load means units already in the field may be approaching end-of-life if they have been running continuously since installation.
Mechanical interface and environmental limits
The gearbox has a 60 mm external diameter with a black anodised aluminium housing. The output shaft is C45 steel, which is a medium-carbon grade suitable for keyed or press-fit couplings. Straight-tooth gearing means it runs louder than helical — the 58 dB at 1 m no-load is the baseline; under load expect a few dB more. Shaft output sealing is IP54 — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not immersion or high-pressure washdown. The operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments but not freezer or oven applications without derating. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour life. Radial force limits are 340 N and 500 N respectively, measured at mid-span on the shaft. These are the limits that govern bearing life — exceeding them accelerates wear faster than exceeding the torque rating.
