The 5:1 reduction ratio means the input speed is five times the output speed, and the input torque is one-fifth of the output torque, minus efficiency losses. Service life is rated at 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no field maintenance of the lubricant is required over that interval under rated load. The 94 % efficiency figure is the mechanical efficiency at rated load — the remaining 6 % is lost as heat in the gear mesh and bearings. For a 450 N.m output, the thermal dissipation is approximately 28 W, which the black anodized aluminium housing handles without forced cooling at the rated ambient. ## Mechanical interface and environmental limits The gearbox has a 160 mm outer diameter housing in black anodized aluminium. The shaft material is C45 carbon steel. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour service life, or 8000 N for a reduced 10,000-hour life. Maximum radial force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft is 4200 N for 30,000 hours or 6000 N for 10,000 hours. These limits govern the overhung load capacity when coupling to a belt drive or pinion. Torsional rigidity is 38 N.m/arcmin, and maximum torsional backlash is 6 arc.min. The straight-tooth design means the gearbox has higher backlash than a helical or planetary-ground alternative, which matters for positioning accuracy in indexing or servo applications. The noise level at 1 m under no-load is 70 dB, which is typical for a straight-tooth planetary stage of this size.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051001F Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051001F planetary gearbox, 5:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
