At the rated service life of 30000 h at 100 rpm and 30 °C, maximum axial thrust Fa is 6000 N and maximum radial load Fr is 4200 N when the radial force is applied at mid-distance from the output shaft. Push beyond those curves and the bearing life budget collapses; an MRO planner evaluating a swap needs to plot the actual applied Fr against this 4200 N line, not against the more generous 6000 N figure cited at the 10000 h short-life condition. ## 96 % efficiency, 70 dB, < 6 arcmin backlash — precision-class reducer Efficiency is rated at 96 %, which is high for a single-stage planetary with straight-cut teeth — the straight-tooth geometry trades quieter helical behaviour for cost and simpler alignment, and the 70 dB noise figure at 1 m no-load reflects that. Backlash is held under 6 arcmin, and torsional rigidity is 38 N·m/arcmin, placing the GBX1600041385D in the precision-servo-adjacent class rather than the conveyor/agitator economy class. The shaft is C45 medium-carbon steel in a black anodised aluminium housing — a sensible material pairing when the radial and axial load envelopes above are respected. ## Shaft seal IP54, –25…90 °C, any mounting position The output shaft carries an IP54 seal — adequate for indoor panel-adjacent service but not a washdown-rated enclosure, so plant locations with coolant splash or outdoor exposure need a guarding decision at the gearbox, not just the motor. Operating envelope is –25 to 90 °C and the unit mounts in any position, which removes a constraint that often forces a specific reducer variant in skewed-drive conveyor layouts. The shaft moment of inertia is 7.78 g·cm² — a low figure that keeps the GBX1600041385D friendly to high-dynamic servo loops where added inertia erodes the bandwidth budget.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600041385D GBX Planetary Gearbox, 4:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600041385D, GBX-160 planetary gearbox, 4:1 reduction, 450 N·m continuous / 720 N·m peak, obsolete — quoted to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","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,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/b1b37b4ee9adb7d9db8e3dd9e94083f9.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600041385D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-41-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600041385D/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600041385D's listed efficiency and noise level on this Gear Reducers & Gearboxes line?","answer":"The GBX1600041385D is rated at 96 % efficiency with a no-load noise level of 70 dB measured at 1 m — figures consistent with a precision-class single-stage planetary reducer rather than an economy right-angle unit."},{"question":"Is GBX1600041385D available via RFQ confirmation and what is the lead time for an order?","answer":"With the part on the obsolete list, availability is lot-dependent — request a quote on the specific quantity and we will return the current pricing and dispatch posture from the available channel."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600041385D","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/GBX1600041385D when reusing this data.
