It delivers 120 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a peak overload capacity of 192 N.m at the same speed. The 14 arcmin maximum torsional backlash sets the positioning repeatability floor — for a servo-driven indexing table or a pick-and-place Z-axis, this is the angular slop the controller cannot correct. Straight-tooth geometry trades slightly higher noise (60 dB at 1 m, no-load) for lower cost and simpler manufacturing versus helical. ## Torque, life, and the loads that limit it Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C with the continuous 120 N.m torque. The maximum radial force on the output shaft is 650 N at mid-span for that 30,000-hour life; push it to 950 N and the bearing life drops to 10,000 hours. Maximum axial force is 1200 N at 100 rpm for 10,000 hours, derating to 900 N for the full 30,000-hour window. Torsional rigidity is 6.5 N.m/arcmin — the shaft twists 1 arcmin for every 6.5 N.m of applied torque. In a high-gain servo loop, this compliance adds to the total system stiffness budget and may limit the achievable bandwidth. ## Obsolete — sourcing reality for the GBX0800160553F Schneider Electric lists the GBX0800160553F as obsolete. No official successor part number is published. The gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. The black anodized aluminium housing carries an IP54 rating at the shaft output — suitable for dry indoor environments with occasional dust or splash, but not washdown. Lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval for grease changes.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX0800160553F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX0800160553F planetary gearbox, 80 mm, 16:1 ratio, 120 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 14 arcmin backlash.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"60 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":"6.5 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"1699.3 lbf.in (192 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":"1200 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C 900 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"650 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 950 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"1062.09 lbf.in (120 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"3.1 in (80 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"14 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/68ea515de186dccb386c0908cc6b8afd.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX0800160553F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-80-mm-reduction-161-14arcmin-120-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX0800160553F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX0800160553F?","answer":"120 N.m (1062.09 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
