The continuous output torque is 450 N.m — that is the figure to size against for steady-state servo or stepper applications. The maximum output torque hits 720 N.m, but that ceiling is for occasional peak loads, not sustained running. The torsional rigidity is 38 N.m/arcmin, which means the gearbox twists 1 arcminute for every 38 N.m of applied torque. For a positioning axis, this stiffness matters more than the backlash number — it determines how much the load lags the motor under acceleration. ## Service life at rated load — the reliability number Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation at that speed. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil changes, no maintenance interval to schedule. The axial and radial force limits are given at two life targets: 6000 N axial (Fa) and 4200 N radial (Fr) for the full 30,000-hour life at 100 rpm, or 8000 N axial and 6000 N radial if you accept a 10,000-hour service life. The radial force is measured at mid-distance from the output shaft — overhung loads need to be calculated back to that point. ## Backlash and positioning accuracy Maximum torsional backlash is 6 arcminutes. That is a standard-precision planetary — fine for most conveyor, packaging, and material-handling axes, but not for a zero-backlash servo press or a rotary indexing table that needs <3 arcmin. If the application needs tighter positioning, the GBX family includes lower-backlash variants; this one is the cost-effective choice for general motion. ## Mounting and environmental fit Mounting position is any position — horizontal, vertical shaft-up, vertical shaft-down — no oil level restrictions because it is grease-lubricated for life. Shaft output seal is IP54 — that means dust-protected and splash-resistant, but not washdown-rated. If the gearbox sits in a food-processing zone that gets hosed down, you need an IP65+ option or a protective cover over the shaft seal. The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material is C45 steel. Moment of inertia is 7.78 g.cm² — low enough that a servo motor does not waste torque accelerating the gearbox itself.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600041382D Planetary Gearbox, 4:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600041382D planetary gearbox, 4:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous torque, 6 arcmin backlash, 96% efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600041382D","Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 4:1- < 6arcmin- 450 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"4:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"7.78 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"38 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"720 N.m","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"6000 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 8000 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"4200 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 6000 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"450 N.m","Gearbox external diameter":"160 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"6 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/216868d73eaf32e3f3b87e0de9d9cf3f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600041382D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-41-6arcmin-450-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600041382D?","answer":"The continuous output torque is 450 N.m.
