Continuous output torque is 44 N.m at 100 rpm, with a maximum intermittent torque of 70 N.m — the 16:1 ratio multiplies motor torque by roughly that factor, minus the 94 % efficiency loss, so the motor-side torque at rated load is about 2.9 N.m continuous. Torsional backlash is 20 arcmin maximum — this is a commercial-grade positioning budget, not a zero-backlash unit; for applications needing tighter repeatability, a preloaded or dual-drive arrangement would be needed. ## Obsolete — sourcing a legacy gearbox For a line-down situation or a BOM that already has the mounting interface machined, the only channel is independent surplus or new-old-stock inventory — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ, not from the factory. The 60 mm housing diameter, 16:1 ratio, and 44 N.m continuous rating are the three dimensions that must match for a drop-in swap; any replacement from another manufacturer will need the input flange, output shaft keyway, and pilot diameter verified against the existing motor and load adapter. ## Load ratings and service life at 100 rpm Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — that is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation at that speed and temperature. Maximum radial force on the output shaft is 340 N at mid-span for the full 30,000-hour life, or 500 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour life — overhung loads from belt drives or pinions need to stay within these limits to avoid bearing fatigue. Maximum axial force is 450 N for the 30,000-hour target, 600 N for 10,000 hours — thrust loads from helical gears or leadscrew drives must be checked against these figures. ## Environmental and mechanical construction The housing is black anodized aluminium, 60 mm diameter, with the shaft output sealed to IP54 — splash-resistant but not submersible, so locate it away from washdown spray if possible. Shaft material is C45 carbon steel, and the gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance ports or regreasing schedule, which simplifies installation but means the unit is sealed and cannot be serviced if the lubricant degrades.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0600161002F Planetary Gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0600161002F planetary gearbox, 60 mm diameter, 16:1 reduction, 44 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
