Product Description

The 8GP60-070-010S1V2 planetary gearbox from B&R Automation is well-suited for applications requiring high starting torque. It features a robust design that can handle stall torques up to 260 Nm while delivering 130 Nm of starting torque. This makes it ideal for use cases needing a strong initial torque burst, such as accelerating or lifting heavy loads. It utilizes a ferrite rotor with 10 poles, allowing it to achieve speeds up to 3000 rpm. The gearbox is rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures reaching 90 degrees Celsius, enabling use in warm industrial environments.

The 8GP60-070-010S1V2 measures 70mm in diameter and uses an 010S1V2 style shaft. Its rated power handling is 30 kW, though it can briefly output 42 kW bursts for short periods. This extra reserve is useful for applications with intermittent high power demands. It uses a planetary gearing arrangement to achieve torque multiplication from its brushless motor input. Internally, ball bearing assemblies smoothly and quietly transmit torque between the fixed ring gear and planetary carrier components. Its IP65 environmental rating means the housing is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction for outdoor or wash-down usage.

Lubrication is crucial to the gearbox's long operational life. It performs best when lubricated with an industrial gear oil having a kinematic viscosity between 380-680 mm^2/s. This specialty lubricant flows smoothly between components while providing anticorrosive and anti-wear protection. Owners should change the oil every 8000 hours of operation or two years to maintain optimum internal conditions. Proper lubrication prolongs component life in high-load applications. Though designed for vertical mounting, the gearbox can also be horizontally installed if needed by the application.
