Planetary gearbox — 60 mm frame, 15:1 reduction
The GBX0600150584D is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox in a 60 mm diameter black anodized aluminium housing, with a C45 steel output shaft. Reduction ratio is 15:1, delivering a maximum output torque of 70 N.m and a continuous rated torque of 44 N.m. Efficiency is 94 % at rated load, and torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin — the stiffness matters for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place axes. Maximum torsional backlash is 25 arcmin, which is standard for a commercial-grade planetary stage.
Lifecycle — obsolete, no direct replacement
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. For a BOM that requires this exact reduction ratio and frame size, supply runs through independent surplus channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ.
Load ratings and service life
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm output speed and 30 °C ambient. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life, or 600 N for a 10,000-hour duty. Maximum radial force (applied at mid-shaft) is 340 N for 30,000 hours, 500 N for 10,000 hours. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. Shaft output seal is rated IP54, suitable for dry indoor environments with occasional dust or splash.
