The GBX0600321002F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with a 32:1 reduction ratio and straight-cut teeth. Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; peak torque reaches 70 N.m under the same conditions, which is the overload ceiling before the gear teeth yield. Efficiency is listed at 94 % — the loss is mostly gear mesh friction, not bearing drag, so the thermal rise stays low in continuous duty. Noise measures 58 dB at 1 m, no-load, which is quiet enough for a lab or inspection station without an enclosure.
Service life, backlash, and the limits that govern fit
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation before the lubricant degrades or the gear flanks wear past the backlash spec. Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min, which is a standard precision class for a planetary stage at this diameter; a servo loop with a high-gain position controller will need to account for this windup in the tuning. Maximum radial force on the output shaft is 340 N at mid-span for the full 30,000-hour life, or 500 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service interval. Axial force limits are 450 N and 600 N respectively. Overhung loads from a belt pulley or a pinion gear must stay inside these envelopes or the bearing race spalls early. The housing is black anodized aluminium with an IP54 rating at the shaft output — dust-tight and splash-resistant, but not submersible. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor machine environments but not a washdown zone or a freezer tunnel.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600321002F as obsolete. Available through independent surplus and broker channels. No pin-compatible or dimensionally identical alternative from the GBX family has been designated as a replacement.
