Planetary gearbox, 60:1 — torque and service life at 100 rpm
The GBX0600601403F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, sized for a 60 mm output diameter and a 60:1 reduction ratio. It delivers a continuous output torque of 44 N.m (389.4 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak capability of 70 N.m (619.6 lbf.in) under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance interval for oil changes. The 94 % efficiency figure means only 6 % of input power is lost to friction and windage at rated load, which keeps thermal rise predictable in continuous-duty applications.
Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted to order
Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600601403F as obsolete. The part is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No pin-compatible or drop-in replacement from Schneider's current GBX family has been published, so a substitution would require re-evaluating the mounting interface and torque envelope.
Mechanical limits — radial and axial loads, backlash
Maximum radial force Fr is 340 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour service life, measured at mid-distance from the output shaft; this drops to 500 N for a 10,000-hour duty cycle. Maximum axial force Fa is 450 N at 100 rpm for 30,000 hours, or 600 N for 10,000 hours. Both figures assume 30 °C ambient. Torsional backlash is rated at 22 arc.min maximum — this is a standard-precision planetary, not a zero-backlash stage. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N.m/arcmin, which defines the wind-up under load. The shaft output seal carries an IP54 rating, meaning it resists dust ingress and splashing water but is not suitable for pressurized washdown.
Noise and environmental range
Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — this is a quiet-running straight-tooth planetary for its torque class. Housing is black anodized aluminium; shaft material is C45 carbon steel. The gearbox external diameter is 60 mm (2.4 in), so it fits into a compact envelope for servo or stepper motor integration where panel space is tight.
