The GBX0600600702F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with straight-cut teeth and a 60:1 reduction ratio. That ratio steps a motor's speed down by a factor of 60 while multiplying the available torque — a 3000 rpm servo input yields 50 rpm at the output. Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm; the gearbox can handle 70 N.m peak at the same speed. The 22 arc-minutes of torsional backlash means the output shaft can rotate that amount before the gear train engages — important for positioning accuracy in a pick-and-place or indexing axis where reversing direction is frequent. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance refill schedule. The IP54 rating on the shaft output means it's protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not washdown; keep it inside a cabinet or under a cover in wet environments.
Obsolete — sourced through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600600702F as obsolete. This gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ — tell me the quantity and I can check what my network holds. Lead time and pricing are quoted per lot against the BOM line. For a new design, look at current-generation planetary gearboxes in the same 60 mm frame size and 60:1 ratio from Schneider or other manufacturers — the mounting dimensions (pilot diameter, bolt pattern, keyway) will need to be verified against the motor and load interface before substitution.
Load capacity and thermal limits
Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N for the full 30,000-hour service life, or 600 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour life. Radial force at mid-shaft is 340 N for the long-life target, 500 N for the shorter window. These are the bearing limits — exceeding them shortens life faster than the torque rating does. The 94 % efficiency figure means about 6 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the gearbox — at continuous 44 N.m output that's roughly 18 W of heat to dissipate through the aluminium housing. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for a lab or assembly line without acoustic enclosures. The straight-tooth design is inherently noisier than helical, but at this size and ratio the difference is marginal for most applications.
