Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; maximum intermittent torque reaches 70 N.m under the same conditions. Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min — this is the angular play under reversal, which governs positioning repeatability in indexing or servo applications. For a 16:1 gearbox this is a standard commercial-grade tolerance; precision classes typically run below 10 arc.min. ## Shaft loading and environmental limits Rated axial force Fa is 450 N for a 30,000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C, or 600 N for a 10,000-hour life. Radial force Fr at mid-span on the output shaft is 340 N for 30,000 hours, 500 N for 10,000 hours. These limits must be respected in the coupling and driven-load design to avoid premature bearing failure. The shaft output seal carries IP54 protection — suitable for dry indoor environments with dust ingress control, but not rated for washdown or direct spray. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most panel and machine-enclosure conditions. The gearbox is lubricated for life, eliminating periodic oil changes. Service life is 30,000 hours at rated torque and speed — approximately 3.4 years of continuous operation — after which replacement is expected. ## Efficiency and noise — energy loss and operator environment Stated efficiency is 94 % at rated load, meaning 6 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear mesh and bearings. For a 44 N.m output at 100 rpm (about 460 W mechanical), the thermal loss is roughly 28 W — this must be dissipated through the aluminium housing and mounting interface. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions. This is comparable to a quiet office environment and typically does not require additional acoustic enclosure in machine design. ## Sourcing — obsolete, quoted to order Schneider Electric has marked the GBX0600161001F as obsolete. No direct successor order code is listed on the manufacturer's lifecycle record. Availability is through independent distribution channels; quantities are confirmed at RFQ against the specific BOM line. For volume procurement or last-time-buy requirements, the part is sourced to order.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600161001F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600161001F planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 16:1 reduction, 44 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"58 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":"2.5 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"619.6 lbf.in (70 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":"450 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 600 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"340 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"389.4 lbf.in (44 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"2.4 in (60 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"20 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/8a6a239e4d27b367f912619733764846.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX0600161001F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-60-mm-reduction-161-20arcmin-44-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0600161001F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX0600161001F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
