Angular planetary gearbox, straight teeth, Ø 60 mm, reduction 5:1, 16 arc minutes, 24 N.m GBY060005K

Precision and Torque in a Compact Housing

This angular planetary gearbox from the Lexium GBY series is a key component for drive systems requiring high accuracy while maintaining a compact footprint. Designed with straight teeth, this reducer provides a gear ratio of 5:1, enabling effective adaptation of motor speed to application requirements. Its 60 mm diameter design ensures seamless integration into the mounting space typical of modern automation systems, without the need for additional adapters or complex system modifications.

In practice, this means the device can transmit torque up to 24 Nm, making it suitable for numerous applications in robotics, positioning systems, and production lines. A critical aspect of its operation is high stiffness and minimal backlash, specified as less than 16 arc minutes. This performance guarantees precise final positioning without the risk of "hunting" or excessive deviation during direction changes. For the installer, this translates into a simpler calibration process and fewer errors during system commissioning; for the end user, it ensures repeatability and stable machine performance throughout the equipment's lifecycle.

Application and Compatibility in Drive Systems

As a mechanical accessory dedicated to the Lexium series, this gearbox is not a standard service replacement part but rather an integral element of a complete drive system. Its angular design allows for a 90-degree change in power transmission direction, which is invaluable in applications where the motor shaft and output shaft axes must be perpendicular due to spatial constraints. Straight teeth ensure good efficiency while maintaining low noise and vibration levels, which is essential for applications requiring quiet operation.

Key benefits of using this model include:

• Compact design – 60 mm diameter enables installation in tight machine enclosures.
• High precision – Backlash below 16 arc minutes eliminates dead zones during direction changes.
• Overload resistance – Torque capacity up to 24 Nm ensures safe operation under dynamic loads.
• Easy integration – Dedicated design facilitates quick installation in Schneider Electric motion control systems.

By combining a 5:1 gear ratio with torque transmission capability up to 24 N·m and backlash below 16 arc minutes, this gearbox forms a solid foundation for systems requiring precise angular motion control. Its application minimizes positioning errors and increases overall production line efficiency without the need for expensive hybrid solutions or complex coupling arrangements.
