Planetary gearbox, 60 mm frame, 25:1 reduction
The GBX0600251003F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox in a 60 mm diameter black anodized aluminium housing, with a 25:1 reduction ratio and 20 arc.min maximum torsional backlash. Rated continuous output torque is 40 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 64 N.m at the same speed and temperature. Service life is 30,000 hours at rated continuous torque, and the gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval.
Load ratings and mechanical limits
Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the 30,000-hour service life, or 600 N if the application only needs 10,000 hours. Maximum radial force, applied at mid-distance from the output shaft, is 340 N for 30,000 hours or 500 N for 10,000 hours — both at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, which means the output shaft twists 1 arcminute for every 2.5 N.m of applied torque — relevant for positioning accuracy in indexing or servo applications. The C 45 steel output shaft carries the load; the housing is IP54 at the shaft output, so it resists dust ingress and splashing water but is not submersible.
Efficiency, noise, and operating envelope
Listed efficiency is 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth; the remaining 6 % is friction and windage loss that becomes heat in the housing. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — audible but not intrusive in a machine-tool or conveyor environment; straight-tooth gears are inherently noisier than helical, so this figure is expected for the type.
Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced per RFQ
The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are confirmed at RFQ against the BOM line. For a replacement that matches the 60 mm frame, 25:1 ratio, and 40 N.m continuous torque, a parametric search across the current Schneider GBX series or a third-party planetary with equivalent mounting dimensions is the practical next step — the original is no longer orderable from the factory.
