60:1 reduction, 44 N.m continuous — what the ratings mean
The GBX0600600554F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with straight teeth, delivering a 60:1 reduction ratio. Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum torque reaches 70 N.m under the same conditions. Efficiency is listed at 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary set with straight-cut gears. The 22 arcmin maximum torsional backlash is standard for a precision gearbox in this class; if your application demands tighter positioning, a low-backlash variant would be needed.
Load ratings and service life
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you accept a 10,000-hour life. Maximum radial force is 340 N at mid-shaft for 30,000 hours, 500 N for 10,000 hours. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance refill schedule. Shaft output seal is rated IP54, meaning it resists dust ingress and splashing water, but not washdown or submersion.
