60 mm planetary gearbox — 16:1 ratio, 44 N.m continuous
The GBX0600161401F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with a 16:1 reduction ratio and straight-tooth gearing. It delivers 44 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum peak of 70 N.m under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at the continuous torque rating — the axial and radial load limits at that life are 450 N and 340 N respectively, both measured at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval for oil changes.
Torque, backlash, and thermal envelope
Continuous torque of 44 N.m at 100 rpm is the working limit for sizing; the 70 N.m maximum is for short-duration peaks. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, and maximum backlash is 20 arc.min — this is a standard-precision grade, not a zero-backlash unit for high-accuracy positioning. Efficiency is 94 %, meaning about 6 % of input power is lost as heat. The operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, and the shaft output seal carries IP54 protection — splash-resistant but not submersible. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — typical for a straight-tooth planetary of this size. The housing is black anodized aluminium, and the shaft is C45 medium-carbon steel.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
This gearbox is marked obsolete by Schneider Electric. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. Confirm the input shaft interface and mounting pattern against your existing assembly before committing.
