No official successor or replacement part number is listed by the manufacturer. This planetary gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ — no stock-holding claim is made here. ## 16:1 planetary reduction, 20 N.m continuous The GBX0400161002F is a 40 mm diameter planetary gearbox with straight-cut teeth and a 16:1 reduction ratio. It delivers 20 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m under the same conditions. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and the unit is lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes are needed in the field. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary set at this ratio. Torsional backlash is 28 arcmin maximum — this is a standard-precision gearbox, not a zero-backlash servo unit. ## Mounting and environmental limits The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. The output shaft carries an IP54 rating — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not for washdown or submerged service. Maximum axial and radial forces at the output shaft are 200 N each when derated for 10,000-hour life at 100 rpm, dropping to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour rating. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — quiet enough for a cabinet-mounted index drive or light conveyor application without additional acoustic enclosure.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400161002F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Obsolete Schneider Electric GBX0400161002F 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 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","Service life in hours":"30000 h 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","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/d5cba425ea810c8da325cfef6e78bbdf.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX0400161002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-161-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400161002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0400161002F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"20 N.m (177.01 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
