Planetary gearbox, 60 mm frame, 15:1 reduction — torque and backlash limits
The GBX0600150582D is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with straight teeth and a 15:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is rated 44 N.m, with a maximum intermittent torque of 70 N.m — the limiting factor for sustained duty is the continuous figure, not the peak. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 25 arc.min — this is the total angular play at the output under no load, a parameter that matters for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place applications. The 94 % efficiency figure is the power transmission efficiency at rated load, not the no-load efficiency.
Service life and load ratings — 30,000-hour design at 100 rpm
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Maximum axial force at the output shaft is 450 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, or 600 N if the application accepts a 10,000-hour service interval. Maximum radial force (applied at mid-distance on the output shaft) is 340 N for the 30,000-hour target, 500 N for the 10,000-hour case. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. The IP54 rating on the shaft output means the seal resists dust ingress and splashing water, but not pressurized washdown or submersion.
Obsolete — sourced through independent distribution
Schneider Electric has classified the GBX0600150582D as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. Housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C 45 carbon steel. Moment of inertia is 0.077 g.cm² — this is the reflected inertia at the input, relevant for sizing the motor acceleration torque. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load.
