It delivers 260 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent rating of 416 N.m under the same conditions. The 12 arcmin maximum torsional backlash and 13 N.m/arcmin torsional rigidity define the positioning repeatability — for indexing or servo applications where lost motion matters, this backlash figure is the spec that governs precision. ## Efficiency, noise, and thermal envelope Rated at 94 % efficiency, the gearbox loses 6 % of input power as heat — at 260 N.m output that's roughly 100 W thermal dissipation at rated speed, which the black anodized aluminium housing sinks without external cooling in most duty cycles. Noise level is 65 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — audible but within typical machine-enclosure limits for a 120 mm planetary stage. The operating temperature range spans -25 to 90 °C, covering most indoor industrial environments. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted per RFQ Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific — confirmed at RFQ against your BOM line. The unit ships lubricated for life with IP54 shaft-output protection, so it's ready for direct installation if the mating dimensions check out. ## Shaft loading and mounting constraints Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour service life, or 2800 N for a 10,000-hour duty cycle. Radial force Fr at mid-span on the output shaft is 1500 N for the longer life target, 2000 N for the shorter. These limits drop with speed — the 100 rpm reference is the benchmark. Shaft material is C45 steel, housing is black anodized aluminium. The IP54 rating on the shaft output means it's splash-proof but not submersible — suitable for dry indoor locations with occasional coolant mist or washdown overspray.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200161004F planetary gearbox","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200161004F planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm, 94% efficiency, 12 arcmin backlash.","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/6a73a79acac7470b75363ed1486b564c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX1200161004F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-120-mm-reduction-161-12arcmin-260-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1200161004F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1200161004F?","answer":"260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
