The GBX0600150703F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with a 15:1 reduction ratio, delivering 44 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That continuous figure — not the 70 N.m maximum — is the one to size against for sustained duty cycles; the maximum is available for short-duration peaks. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which means about 6 % of the input power is lost as heat in the gear train — relevant for thermal budgeting in a sealed enclosure. Torsional backlash is 20 arc.min maximum, typical for a straight-tooth planetary stage. If your application requires tighter positioning repeatability, a low-backlash or precision-geared stage would be needed.
Lifecycle — obsolete, sourced through surplus channels
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as obsolete. For a line-down spare or a BOM fill, the GBX0600150703F is available through independent surplus and broker channels. The gearbox is lubricated for life and sealed to IP54 at the shaft output — no maintenance schedule for oil changes, which simplifies MRO planning.
Mechanical limits — axial and radial loads
Maximum axial force (Fa) is 450 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour service life, or 600 N for a 10,000-hour life. Maximum radial force (Fr) is 340 N at 100 rpm for 30,000 hours, or 500 N for 10,000 hours — both measured at mid-distance on the output shaft. These limits are load-bearing for direct-drive or belt-driven output stages; exceeding them shortens the bearing life below the 30,000-hour baseline.
