8:1 planetary reduction for servo positioning
The GBX0600081404F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with an 8:1 reduction ratio and straight-cut teeth. It delivers 18 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak capability of 29 N.m under the same conditions. The 16 arc.min maximum torsional backlash places this gearbox in the standard-precision class — adequate for general positioning axes where the load doesn't require the sub-arcmin repeatability of a zero-backlash unit.
Torque, life, and thermal limits
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. At the same speed, the maximum radial force on the output shaft is 340 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 500 N if the application accepts a 10,000-hour service window. Maximum axial force is 450 N for 30,000 hours or 600 N for 10,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The 94 % efficiency figure means about 6 % of the input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh — relevant for thermal budgeting in a confined enclosure. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, and the shaft output seal carries an IP54 rating — splash-resistant but not submersible. The black anodized aluminium housing and C45 steel shaft are standard for this class of servo gearbox.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0600081404F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ.
