Torque capacity and duty cycle
This GBX0600151404F planetary gearbox delivers a continuous output torque of 44 N.m (389.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum output torque of 70 N.m (619.6 lbf.in) under the same conditions. The 15:1 reduction ratio and straight-tooth design suit positioning axes where moderate precision and compact envelope are the primary constraints. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, lubricated for life — no maintenance interval for grease changes, which simplifies the BOM for a sealed actuator assembly.
Mechanical interface and load limits
The 60 mm diameter housing in black anodized aluminium and C45 steel output shaft accept a maximum radial force of 340 N (mid-shaft, 30,000 h life) and a maximum axial force of 450 N under the same duty. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, and maximum backlash is 20 arc.min — the latter is the figure to check against the positioning budget for a pick-and-place or indexing axis. Shaft output sealing is IP54, which excludes dust ingress but is not rated for washdown — suitable for dry indoor environments or cabinets where the gearbox is not directly exposed to hose spray.
Lifecycle status and sourcing
Schneider Electric lists this GBX0600151404F as obsolete. Sourcing is through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a replacement that matches the 60 mm frame and 15:1 ratio, a parametric search across the current GBX family is the practical route — the mounting interface and output shaft dimensions must be verified against the existing assembly drawing.
