The headline mechanical envelope is 720 N.m of peak output torque (cites:) and 450 N.m continuous output torque (cites:), with a torsional rigidity of 38 N.m/arcmin (cites:) and torsional backlash capped at 6 arc.min (cites:) — the figures that decide whether it sits between a servo and a high-inertia load without a wind-up problem. ## What the ratings actually deliver in a drivetrain Efficiency is rated 96% (cites:), so a 720 N.m peak load dissipates roughly 4% of mechanical power as heat inside the housing — small enough that no external cooler is required under the duty the gearbox is specced for. Noise level at no-load is 70 dB at 1 m (cites:), which fits a packaging or assembly cell without pushing into hearing-protection zoning. Service life is 30000 h at 100 rpm and 30 °C (cites:); the moment of inertia figure of 7.78 g.cm² (cites:) tells the upstream servo how much reflected inertia it has to accelerate on each move, which matters more on indexing axes than on continuous conveyors. Output-shaft loading is rated as 6000 N maximum axial force and 4200 N maximum radial force when both are applied over the 30000 h service life at 100 rpm, with higher short-term figures quoted against a shorter life (cites:) — the dual-rating shape lets you oversize the load if a shorter maintenance interval is acceptable. ## Lubrication, sealing and environment The gearbox is lubricated for life — no grease nipples on the side of the housing, so the unit is a fit-and-forget item unless a downstream fault forces an early teardown (cites:). Output-shaft sealing is to IP54 (cites:), which keeps out splashing water and dust but does not survive full washdown; for brewery CIP or outdoor panels, look at a higher IP spec or a guard. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C (cites:), the housing is black anodized aluminium with a black finish (cites:), and the output shaft is C45 medium-carbon steel (cites:). The unit can be mounted in any position (cites:), which is useful when retrofitting into a skid where the gearbox height is dictated by the machine frame rather than the catalog.","metaTitle":"GBX1600041383D Schneider Electric Planetary Gearbox, 4:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600041383D planetary gearbox, 160 mm frame, 4:1 reduction, 450 Nm continuous / 720 Nm peak torque, 96% efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600041383D","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/0d9be436eaf05554093f99ba1d89488d.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600041383D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-41-6arcmin-450-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600041383D's efficiency and noise level?","answer":"Efficiency is listed at 96% and the no-load noise figure is 70 dB measured at 1 m (cites:).
