60 mm planetary, 20:1 — what it delivers
The GBX0600201004F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with straight teeth and a 20:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 70 N.m at the same speed and temperature. Efficiency sits at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary of this size — the straight-cut gears trade a little noise for lower sliding loss compared to helical profiles. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load. The gearbox is lubricated for life and rated for 30,000 hours service at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a shaft output IP54 seal. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C.
Sourcing this obsolete gearbox
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600201004F as obsolete. This part is sourced through independent distribution channels — quantities are confirmed at RFQ, and availability is quoted against the BOM line. No stock-holding claim is made; each order is verified at quote time.
Load ratings and shaft limits
Maximum radial force Fr is 340 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, measured at mid-distance from the output shaft. Maximum axial force Fa is 450 N under the same conditions. Both figures drop to 10,000-hour ratings at 600 N (Fa) and 500 N (Fr) if the application is intermittent. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min — this is a standard-precision planetary, not a zero-backlash servo gearhead. The shaft material is C45 steel; the housing is black anodised aluminium.
