Continuous output torque is 20 N.m at 100 rpm at 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m at the same speed and temperature — the margin covers acceleration peaks and short overloads. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and the unit is lubricated for life — no scheduled oil changes in the field. Torsional rigidity is 1.1 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 28 arc.min — the straight-tooth design trades some backlash for higher torque density compared to helical planetary stages. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, sourced through independent channels The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities and condition are confirmed at RFQ. ## Mechanical ratings that govern the fit Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life, or 160 N for the full 30,000-hour rating at 30 °C. Maximum radial force is 200 N at 100 rpm (10,000-hour life) or 160 N (30,000-hour life), applied at mid-distance from the output shaft at 30 °C. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown or outdoor exposure. ## Efficiency and noise in the drive train Listed efficiency is 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load, which is quiet enough for most machine-tool and packaging-line environments without additional acoustic enclosures. Moment of inertia is 0.022 g.cm² — low enough that the reflected inertia at the motor shaft stays manageable for servo tuning.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX0400160572G Planetary Gearbox, 16:1, 20 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400160572G planetary gearbox, 40 mm diameter, 16:1 ratio, 20 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"55 dB at 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"16:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"0.022 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1.1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"32 N.m at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"200 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 160 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"200 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C 160 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"20 N.m at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Gearbox external diameter":"40 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"28 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/f346af5cf215513b39a958cfb994476a.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/vn/en/product/GBX0400160572G/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-161-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400160572G/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the GBX0400160572G or check availability?","answer":"The GBX0400160572G is sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400160572G","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX0400160572G when reusing this data.
