With a 16:1 reduction ratio and 260 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, it handles indexing, positioning, and constant-speed conveyor drives where the load profile stays within the rated duty cycle. ## Torque, backlash, and stiffness that define fit Continuous output torque is 260 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C; peak intermittent torque reaches 416 N.m under the same conditions — the margin matters for acceleration transients and emergency stops that exceed the continuous ceiling for short periods. Maximum torsional backlash is 12 arcmin, and torsional rigidity is 13 N.m/arcmin — this combination tells you the gearbox returns predictable angular position under load, critical for pick-and-place or rotary indexing where cumulative error stacks across multiple moves. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, lubricated for life with no maintenance interval — the gearbox is sealed at the factory, so the life figure is the replacement trigger, not a service reminder. ## Load ratings and environmental limits Maximum axial force Fa is 2100 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 2800 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life — the trade-off lets you overshoot the bearing load for short-duration applications like vertical lifting where axial thrust peaks during acceleration. Maximum radial force Fr is 1500 N at 100 rpm for 30,000 hours, or 2000 N for 10,000 hours, measured at mid-distance from the output shaft — this governs belt-drive or overhung-load setups where the radial load vector is constant. Shaft output is rated IP54, meaning it resists dust ingress and splashing water — suitable for machine-tool enclosures and washdown-adjacent areas, but not for direct high-pressure spray or submersion.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1200161102G Planetary Gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1200161102G planetary gearbox, 120 mm diameter, 16:1 reduction, 260 N.m continuous torque.
