Product Description

The 8GP40-060-010S1V2 single-stage planetary gearbox from B&R Automation offers a versatile torque multiplication solution for space-constrained applications. It features an output torque range of 5-30 Nm, enabling accurate speed and torque control for delicate processes. The gearbox utilizes a single-stage toothing design within its compact footprint to optimize production floor space usage. This helps minimize required footprints for automation equipment in confined industrial areas. Built to IP66 standards, the 8GP40-060-010S1V2 withstands both harsh industrial environments and washdown conditions.

It can resist radial loads up to 1750N and axial loads of 2500N continuously for 20,000 hours of operation. This makes it well-suited for installations exposed to bumps or frequent cleaning. The housing also protects against dust and powerful water jets from any direction. For maximum protection against contamination, mounting with its smooth output shaft pointing downwards is preferred, though any orientation is allowed. Inside its dust-tight enclosure work planetary gear sets that multiply input torque for outputs between 5-30 Nm. This versatile range supports applications from delicate packaging to material handling. When paired with suitable B&R servo or stepper motors, accurate speed and position control under varying loads is achieved.

Cool operation is enabled by selecting the recommended ISO VG150 viscosity grade oil for optimal component lubrication. Continuous duty is rated at 80 degrees C, facilitating usage even in warmer industrial spaces. Over its long operational life, minimal maintenance is required of the 8GP40-060-010S1V2 beyond occasional oil changes. When properly lubricated and not overloaded past specified force or speed limits, the precision-cut gear teeth can reliably transmit torque for over 50,000 hours on average. This maintenance-friendly design saves downtime versus competitors requiring more frequent overhauls. The 3000rpm maximum operating speed also supports demanding production line cycles.
