It delivers 450 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak capability of 720 N.m under the same conditions. ## Torque, backlash, and stiffness — the numbers that govern fit Continuous torque is 450 N.m (3982.8 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum output torque reaches 720 N.m (6372.5 lbf.in) at the same speed and temperature. The continuous figure is the one to size against for steady-state duty — the maximum covers transient overloads. Maximum torsional backlash is 6 arc.min, and torsional rigidity is 38 N.m/arcmin. Together they define the positioning repeatability under reversing loads — for indexing or servo applications, the 6 arc.min figure is the accuracy floor. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C with the continuous torque applied. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil-change interval, no fill port. That 30,000 h figure assumes the load and speed stay within the rated envelope. ## Load limits on the output shaft — axial and radial Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, or 8000 N if the application only needs 10,000 hours. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at mid-span on the output shaft for 30,000 hours, or 6000 N for 10,000 hours. These are the bearing-life limits — overhung loads from pulleys or pinions must stay within these envelopes. The shaft is C45 steel, the housing is black anodized aluminium. Shaft output seal is IP54 — splash-resistant but not washdown-rated. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. ## Efficiency and noise — energy loss and acoustic footprint Efficiency is listed at 94 % — about 6 % of input power is lost as heat in the gear mesh and bearings. For a 450 N.m continuous output at 100 rpm (roughly 4.7 kW mechanical), expect around 280 W of thermal dissipation. The aluminium housing sheds that heat to ambient within the -25 to 90 °C range. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions. Straight spur teeth are inherently noisier than helical at higher speeds — the 70 dB figure is a reference for occupied-space installations.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600050702F Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600050702F planetary gearbox, 5:1 ratio, 450 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 30,000 h service life.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing Colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"5:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"38 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"6372.5 lbf.in (720 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":"6000 N 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 8000 N 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP Degree of Protection":"Shaft output IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"4200 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 6000 N 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"3982.8 lbf.in (450 N.m) 100 rpm 86 °F (30 °C)","Gearbox external diameter":"6.3 in (160 mm)","Product or Component Type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"6 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/ba57101f563d3b7bf9cbfce3916f1e6f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600050702F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-51-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600050702F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX1600050702F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m (3982.8 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
