Planetary gearbox, 32:1, 44 N.m continuous — now obsolete
The GBX0600321001F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with a 32:1 reduction ratio and straight-cut teeth. It delivers 44 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak rating of 70 N.m under the same conditions.
Torque, backlash, and service life at rated speed
Continuous torque is 44 N.m (389.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum output torque reaches 70 N.m (619.6 lbf.in) under the same conditions. The 20 arc.min maximum torsional backlash is typical for a precision planetary stage with straight teeth — adequate for positioning axes where cumulative error is managed by the downstream encoder. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval for oil changes — the sealed housing eliminates that line item from the PM schedule. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, meaning 6 % of input power is lost to friction and windage at rated load. Noise output is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for a laboratory or light assembly environment without an acoustic enclosure.
Shaft loading and environmental limits
Maximum axial force (Fa) is 450 N for the 30,000-hour service life, or 600 N if the application accepts a 10,000-hour life. Maximum radial force (Fr) is 340 N at mid-span on the output shaft for the 30,000-hour target, rising to 500 N for the shorter life. These limits govern overhung load from a belt pulley or chain sprocket. The shaft output carries an IP54 rating — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not immersion or high-pressure washdown. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, covering most indoor industrial environments without a heater or cooler. Housing is black anodized aluminium; shaft material is C45 carbon steel. The 60 mm external diameter and straight-tooth geometry make this a compact, rigid package for servo or stepper motor output stages in pick-and-place, indexing, or light conveyor drives.
Sourcing an obsolete GBX0600321001F
With the official lifecycle status set to obsolete, the GBX0600321001F is no longer manufactured by Schneider Electric. No direct successor order code is published in the product record. Available through independent distribution — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. For a BOM line that requires this exact ratio and torque class, the surplus channel is the only sourcing path; no pin-compatible drop-in replacement is documented.
