It delivers 260 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak capability of 416 N.m under the same conditions. The 94 % efficiency figure means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. The maximum rating covers short-duration peaks during acceleration or momentary overload — but the 30000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C is calculated against the continuous torque, not the peak. Push it past 260 N.m continuously and the L10 life drops below the 30000-hour mark. ## Obsolete — sourcing reality for the GBX1200160552F Availability is through independent surplus and broker channels only. Quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ time — no stock-holding claim from the original factory channel. The lubricated-for-life design means a unit from surplus stock still carries the factory grease charge; no field lubrication is required before installation. ## Shaft loads and backlash — fit constraints for the replacement buyer Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the 30000-hour life target, or 2800 N if the application only needs 10000 hours. Radial force Fr at mid-span on the output shaft is 1500 N for the long-life case, 2000 N for the short-life case. These are the load limits that govern bearing life — exceed them and the gearbox fails before the 30000-hour mark. Torsional backlash is 12 arc-min maximum — typical for a standard-precision planetary with straight teeth. Torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin, meaning the output shaft twists 1 arc-minute for every 13 N.m of applied torque. For a servo-driven indexing application with frequent direction reversals, the backlash and wind-up together define the positioning deadband at the load. The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — dust-protected and splash-resistant, but not submersible. The housing is black anodized aluminium, the shaft is C45 carbon steel. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments but not washdown or outdoor direct-exposure duty.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200160552F Gearbox, 16:1, 260 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200160552F planetary gearbox, 16:1 ratio, 260 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, IP54 shaft output.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"65 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":"13 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"3681.9 lbf.in (416 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":"2100 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 2800 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"1500 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 2000 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"2301.2 lbf.in (260 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"4.7 in (120 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"12 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/1c79ad613f398328ad51cfdbc688c9b9.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX1200160552F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-161-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200160552F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1200160552F?","answer":"260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
