Continuous output torque is 20 N.m at 100 rpm, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m — enough for indexing tables or pick-and-place Z axes where the duty cycle stays below 60 %. The 28 arc-min maximum torsional backlash means this gearbox suits positioning tasks where absolute accuracy is not the primary spec — think conveyor diverters or rotary cam switches rather than a rotary table with a vision system. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted per project Available through independent surplus channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ against the BOM quantity. ## Mechanical limits for the install window Rated axial force on the output shaft is 200 N at 100 rpm for a 10,000-hour life at 30 °C; radial force at mid-shaft is the same 200 N under the same conditions — both derate to 160 N for a 30,000-hour target. The black anodized aluminium housing carries an IP54 rating at the shaft output — splash-resistant but not washdown; keep it inside the cabinet or under a cover on the machine frame. Lubricated for life — no oil-change interval to schedule, which simplifies the spares plan for a commissioning spares kit. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, covering most production-floor environments without derating. ## Efficiency and noise — what the numbers mean on the line 94 % efficiency at rated load means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear mesh — for a 20 N.m output at 100 rpm that is roughly 12 W thermal load, manageable in free air without a fan. 55 dB at 1 m no-load is quieter than a typical servo drive fan — the gearbox will not be the audible contributor in a panel or on a machine frame.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400160704F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400160704F planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 20 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 40 mm diameter.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"55 dB 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","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"1.1 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"283.2 lbf.in (32 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Nbr. of units in pkg.":"1","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"200 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 160 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"200 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C 160 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"177.01 lbf.in (20 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"1.6 in (40 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"28 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-13...194 °F (-25...90 °C)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/731cf8f696aed62056977c5d5b2caee8.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0400160704F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-161-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400160704F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX0400160704F?","answer":"20 N.m continuous at 100 rpm, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m at the same speed.
