It's rated for 44 N.m continuous output torque, with a maximum of 70 N.m for peak loads — so on a servo or stepper motor application, the continuous figure is what you size for, not the peak. Service life is specified at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that's about 3.4 years of continuous running at that speed. If you push the speed or ambient temperature higher, the life shortens proportionally; the 30,000-hour figure is the baseline at the rated conditions. Efficiency sits at 94 %, which is typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. The noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for a small machine shop floor without hearing protection, but the load profile will change that number. ## Mechanical limits you need to know The housing is black anodized aluminium, the shaft is C45 steel. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — that's splash protection, not washdown. If your application sees directed water or dust, you'll need to shield the output side. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 450 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 600 N if you're willing to drop to 10,000 hours. Radial force (applied mid-shaft) is 340 N for the long life, 500 N for the shorter. These are real constraints when you're coupling to a belt drive or a pinion — overshoot them and the bearing life collapses. Torsional rigidity is 2.5 N·m/arcmin, and maximum backlash is 25 arc-minutes. That's standard precision — fine for positioning conveyors or indexers, but not for a CNC axis where you need under 5 arc-min. Moment of inertia is 0.088 g·cm², which is low enough that it won't dominate the reflected inertia on a small servo loop. Mounting position is any orientation — horizontal, vertical shaft up or down — no oil-leak concerns since it's lubricated for life. The operating ambient range is -25 °C to 90 °C, so it'll handle a hot motor flange or a cold warehouse startup. ## Obsolete — what that means for your BOM Schneider Electric lists the GBX0600160583D as obsolete. For a BOM that's frozen with this part number, the only sourcing channel is independent distribution — new-old-stock or surplus. We can quote against your RFQ; availability and pricing vary by lot, so we confirm at quote time, not on the page.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600160583D Planetary Gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600160583D planetary gearbox, 16:1 ratio, 44 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
