Continuous output torque is 20 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m at the same conditions — the continuous figure governs the duty cycle for positioning or indexing applications. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, and noise at 55 dB measured 1 m away under no-load — useful for noise-sensitive environments like lab automation or packaging lines. The rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted to order Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0400161003F as obsolete. The part is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No stock-holding claim here — it's a per-order search. ## Mechanical fit and environmental limits The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. Shaft output carries IP54 protection — splash-resistant but not washdown-rated. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, so it suits unheated machine enclosures or near-motor environments. Maximum radial force at the output shaft is 200 N (mid-shaft) for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service life. Maximum axial force follows the same pattern. Torsional rigidity is 1.1 N.m/arcmin — the stiffness matters for servo-driven positioning where load reversal causes lost motion.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0400161003F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0400161003F planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 20 N.m continuous torque (30 °C), 94 % efficiency, 55 dB noise.","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/9f262b6fd7a466c948cd9ab3fdf519a9.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX0400161003F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-40-mm-reduction-161-28arcmin-20-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0400161003F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX0400161003F's continuous output torque and efficiency?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 20 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 32 N.m.
