It is built for continuous-duty servo and stepper-motor applications where positioning accuracy and torque density matter. Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent rating of 720 N.m at the same speed and temperature — the peak figure governs acceleration and emergency-stop loads, while the continuous figure sets the thermal limit for production cycles. ## Torque, backlash, and stiffness — the fit trio Maximum torsional backlash is 6 arc.min, which suits general-purpose indexing and positioning axes but not ultra-precision rotary tables — a lower-backlash gearbox (2 arc.min or below) would be needed for sub-arcminute positioning loops. Torsional rigidity is 38 N.m/arcmin, meaning the gearbox twists 1 arcmin for every 38 N.m of applied torque. This stiffness, combined with the 94 % efficiency, keeps thermal rise and windup predictable under load. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance interval for oil changes, which reduces total cost of ownership in hard-to-access installations. ## Sourcing an obsolete motion component Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ; pricing depends on lot size and market availability. ## Environmental and mechanical limits The shaft output seal carries IP54 protection — suitable for dry, dust-protected enclosures but not washdown or outdoor service without additional shaft sealing. Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour service life, or 8000 N if the application accepts a reduced 10,000-hour life. Maximum radial force (Fr) is 4200 N at 100 rpm for the long-life rating, 6000 N for the short-life rating — both measured at mid-span on the output shaft. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — typical for a planetary gearbox of this size and straight-tooth design. The black anodised aluminium housing and C45 steel shaft are standard for this torque class.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051002F Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051002F planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 5:1 ratio, 450 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","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/f9f303fac0d3c9afaee0378618e81b5e.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX1600051002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-51-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600051002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the key torque ratings for the GBX1600051002F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
