The GBX0600081403F is a 60 mm diameter planetary gearbox with straight-cut teeth, delivering an 8:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is 18 N.m at 100 rpm; it can handle peaks up to 29 N.m under the same conditions. Efficiency sits at 94 % — that's the mechanical loss through the planetary stages, not the motor. At 58 dB measured 1 m away under no-load, it's quiet enough for a packaging line or a conveyor drive station without an enclosure.
Lifecycle reality — obsolete, sourced on RFQ
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. We source it through independent surplus and decommissioned-line channels.
Service life and load limits at the shaft
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil changes, no breather. That matters when it's buried in a conveyor frame or a pick-and-place gantry. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service window. Radial force at mid-shaft is 340 N for 30,000 hours, 500 N for 10,000 hours. The IP54 shaft output seal keeps dust and splash out, but it's not washdown-rated.
Backlash and stiffness for positioning
Maximum torsional backlash is 16 arc.min — that's standard precision for a straight-tooth planetary, not a zero-backlash servo gearhead. Torsional rigidity is 2.3 N.m/arcmin, which means the shaft wind-up under full continuous torque is about 7.8 arcmin. For indexing or positioning where cumulative error matters, factor that into the system budget.
