It delivers a continuous output torque of 450 N.m at 100 rpm, with a maximum intermittent torque of 720 N.m at the same speed — the 720 N.m figure is the peak the gearset can handle before overloading the tooth root, not a steady-state rating. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no oil changes, no breather. The IP54 shaft output seal keeps dust and splash out, but the housing itself is black anodised aluminium; it's not rated for washdown or submersion. ## Load capacity and stiffness Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service window. Radial force limits follow the same pattern: 4200 N at mid-span for 30,000 hours, 6000 N for 10,000 hours. These are the limits that govern bearing life, not the gear mesh. Torsional rigidity is 38 N.m/arcmin — that's the stiffness of the output shaft and gear train under load. Combined with a maximum backlash of 6 arc.min, this gearbox suits positioning applications where repeatable stop accuracy matters more than absolute zero-backlash. Efficiency is 94 % at rated load, which is typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — the straight-tooth mesh generates more whine than helical, but the aluminium housing damps some of it. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced to order Schneider Electric lists this part as obsolete. The gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are confirmed at RFQ, and the price and lead time vary with the lot. The spec table carries the full set of ratings: continuous torque 450 N.m, maximum torque 720 N.m, axial and radial load limits, backlash, rigidity, and temperature range -25 to 90 °C. These are the numbers to match against your existing BOM line before committing.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600050703F planetary gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600050703F planetary gearbox, straight teeth, reduction 5:1, continuous torque 450 N.m, 94% efficiency, IP54.","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/4d81f480b8674bcaf3d887d98e218b53.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600050703F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-51-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600050703F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the key torque ratings for the GBX1600050703F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm; maximum intermittent torque is 720 N.m at the same speed.
