Maximum torsional backlash is 12 arc.min and torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin, so the gearbox introduces measurable wind-up under step changes in load — fine for conveyors and rotary indexing, but a positioning application that needs sub-arc-minute repeatability will need a tighter unit on its BOM line. ## Shaft loads are tied to the 30,000-hour service life Service life is rated 30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C, which means the published shaft load figures are not constants — they shift with the speed-and-life point on the duty curve. Maximum radial force Fr is 1500 N at 100 rpm applied at mid-distance from the output shaft over the 30000 h life, rising to 2000 N if the design point drops to 10000 h at 100 rpm — pulleys and pinions mounted outboard of mid-shaft force the buyer toward a shorter-life budget or a redesigned mount. Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm over the 30000 h life and 2800 N over 10000 h at 100 rpm, so any thrust from a helical-bevel pinion or a screw-driven load needs to be checked against this envelope before the coupling is selected. ## Operating envelope and sealing Ambient temperature for operation is -25...90 °C, mounting position is any position, and the housing is black anodized aluminium — the gearbox can be oriented to suit the machine layout without re-specifying grease. The shaft output carries IP54 protection, which keeps splashing water out of the seal lip but does not suit a washdown cell — a food-grade or outdoor deployment should plan a local guard or a higher-rated cover over the output seal. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m no-load and efficiency is 94 %, so the gearbox runs quieter than an equivalently sized helical-bevel unit but still sheds about 6 % of input power as heat that has to leave the housing through its anodized surface. ## Sourcing posture: independent channel only For a buyer planning a multi-year line, think landed, not list — duty, Incoterms, and freight on an obsolete part can swing the total cost well past the unit figure, and the paperwork has to be clean because the original factory declaration is no longer refreshed.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX1200160843D planetary gearbox, 16:1, 260 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider GBX1200160843D Ø120 mm planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous, 12 arc.min backlash — obsolete, sourced to order against an RFQ.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"65 dB at 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","Moment Of Inertia":"1.75 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"13 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"416 N.m","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"2100 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 2800 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"1500 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 2000 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"260 N.m","Gearbox external diameter":"120 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"12 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/fdde2f5275f9b451ddcf45c50a5dabc0.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1200160843D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-161-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200160843D/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Who supplies GBX1200160843D and how is it quoted for volume purchases?","answer":"Independent industrial-automation distributors carry GBX1200160843D against the BOM, quoted to order with volume pricing and lead time confirmed at RFQ — no OEM-direct channel applies once the part is obsolete."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1200160843D","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1200160843D when reusing this data.
