Torque and duty cycle
Rated continuous output torque is 40 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — this is the sustained load the gearbox can carry without exceeding its thermal or mechanical limits. Maximum output torque reaches 64 N.m under the same conditions, but that figure is for intermittent peak loads, not continuous operation. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — the design target for maintenance-free operation in a typical indexing or positioning axis.
Mechanical interface and environmental limits
Gearbox external diameter is 60 mm — the mounting interface and output bore must match this envelope. Shaft output is rated IP54, meaning it resists dust ingress and splashing water at the output seal — suitable for protected indoor environments but not washdown. Maximum radial force at the output shaft is 340 N for the 30,000-hour life target, rising to 500 N if the application accepts a shorter 10,000-hour service life. Maximum axial force is 450 N for the 30,000-hour target, 600 N for 10,000 hours — both at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
Efficiency and backlash
Listed efficiency is 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio; the remaining 6 % is frictional loss in the gear mesh and bearings. Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min — this is the angular play at the output under reversing load, a key parameter for positioning accuracy in pick-and-place or indexing applications. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin — the stiffness of the gear train under load, which determines how much the output shaft twists per unit torque.
Construction and maintenance
Housing is black anodized aluminium; shaft material is C45 carbon steel. Lubricated for life — no field re-greasing required, which simplifies maintenance but means the gearbox is sealed and cannot be serviced if the lubricant degrades. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — audible but within typical limits for a machine-mount gearbox in an industrial environment.
