The GBX0600161402F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with straight-cut teeth and a 16:1 reduction ratio. It delivers 44 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, and can handle peaks up to 70 N.m under the same conditions. The 20 arcmin maximum torsional backlash is typical for precision positioning in pick-and-place or indexing applications — not for ultra-high-precision servo loops, but fine for most conveyor or rotary table drives.
Key ratings that matter for fit
Continuous torque of 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C is the steady-state limit — the gearbox can run there indefinitely within its 30,000-hour service life. The 70 N.m maximum figure is for intermittent peaks, not sustained operation, so size your motor and load cycle accordingly. Efficiency is 94 %, meaning about 6 % of input power is lost as heat — that's good for a single-stage planetary, and the black anodized aluminium housing (60 mm OD) sheds heat reasonably well in free air. Radial and axial load capacities are speed-dependent: at 100 rpm and 30 °C, the shaft can take 340 N radial force (applied mid-shaft) and 450 N axial force for the full 30,000-hour life. Bump those to 500 N radial and 600 N axial if you only need 10,000 hours. The IP54 rating on the shaft output means it's splash-proof but not washdown-rated — keep it out of direct hose spray. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, so it's fine in unheated enclosures or near hot machinery.
Lifecycle reality — obsolete, but sourced
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600161402F as obsolete. No official successor part number is published, so a drop-in replacement from the same manufacturer isn't available. The gearbox is sourced through independent surplus channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. If you're keeping a line running, this is the kind of part you buy a spare of now rather than chase later.
