Maximum output torque reaches 720 N.m at the same speed and temperature, giving a 1.6× overload margin above the continuous rating for peak loads during acceleration or momentary jams. Torsional backlash is held to 6 arcmin maximum, which positions this unit in the precision class for indexing and positioning axes where lost motion must stay under a tenth of a degree. ## Load ratings and service life at 100 rpm Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — a common benchmark for continuous-duty conveyor or rotary indexing applications running 24/7 for about 3.4 years before bearing and gear wear reach end-of-life. Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 6,000 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8,000 N if the application accepts a reduced 10,000-hour service interval. Maximum radial force (Fr) applied at mid-distance on the output shaft is 4,200 N for 30,000 hours, or 6,000 N for 10,000 hours — the radial limit is the more restrictive load for belt-pulley or chain-sprocket outputs. Torsional rigidity is 38 N.m per arcmin, meaning the gearbox twists about 0.026 arcmin per N.m of applied torque — a stiffness figure that matters when the downstream load has its own compliance and the combined system must hold position under varying torque. ## Construction, sealing, and operating envelope Housing is black anodized aluminium with straight-cut teeth — the straight tooth form is simpler and more efficient than helical, but produces more audible whine at high speeds; the 70 dB noise level at 1 m no-load gives a baseline for enclosure design. Shaft output seal is rated IP54, which keeps dust and splash ingress out of the output bearing — adequate for most factory-floor environments but not for washdown or submerged service. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no oil changes or regreasing intervals to schedule, which simplifies MRO planning for remote or hard-to-access installations. Shaft material is C45 carbon steel, a common medium-carbon grade with good strength and wear resistance for the output shaft under the rated radial and axial loads. ## Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels Availability is limited to independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ time. No pin-compatible or dimensionally identical replacement is documented by the manufacturer. For a BOM line that requires this exact 160 mm, 5:1, 450 N.m planetary gearbox, the sourcing path is a quoted-to-order request through distribution that can locate new-old-stock or serviceable surplus units.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051003F Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051003F planetary gearbox, 5:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 6 arcmin backlash.","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/105d24ce2a5fe5606edc96160f49ce49.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600051003F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-51-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600051003F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the key torque ratings for the GBX1600051003F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
