The Schneider Electric GBX1600051084D is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox in the GBX series, sized for a 160 mm outside diameter and built around a 5:1 reduction ratio with a continuous output torque of 450 N.m and a maximum output torque of 720 N.m, which is the load ceiling that decides whether the driven machine can be hand-cycled without the gearhead fighting back. Out here in the grease, what I want to know first is the duty envelope: 96% efficiency at rated load keeps the case from cooking the lube, and 70 dB at 1 m no-load tells me the gear train is straight-cut rather than a quiet helical — the trade is cost and torsional stiffness for that gear-whine signature. ## Shaft loads, backlash, and how much punishment the output takes Torsional rigidity is rated at 38 N.m/arcmin and maximum torsional backlash is 6 arc.min, so the GBX1600051084D sits in the precision end of the planetary family rather than the economy backlash bracket — position-holding on a servo-driven indexer is realistic, while a 1°-per-rev open-loop conveyor would not feel the lost motion. The published load envelope is the figure that drives machine design: maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm over the 30,000 hour life (rising to 6000 N if the duty drops to 10,000 hours), and maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N under the same 30,000-hour / 100 rpm / 30 °C condition (8000 N at the shorter 10,000-hour life), so belt and pinion pre-load must be calculated against the 100 rpm, 30 °C baseline or the bearing life is consumed early. Service life is specified as 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, and the gearhead is lubricated for life — no grease nipples on the case, no scheduled oil change, which is the decision that usually tips a maintenance planner toward this style of box over a worm unit. ## Construction, sealing, and where it will survive Shaft-output sealing is IP54, which covers dust ingress and splashing water but is not a washdown rating — the GBX1600051084D belongs on a machine where the gearbox sits inside a guarded envelope, not directly in a food-and-bev hose-down zone. ## Sourcing posture for an active GBX part Lifecycle status is current on this GBX-series code, so the part is still being built by Schneider Electric — there is no obsolete-stock urgency, and the procurement decision is a normal BOM line quoted to order through independent distribution with lead time and price confirmed at RFQ.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051084D Planetary Gearbox, 5:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600051084D GBX-series planetary gearbox, 5:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous / 720 N.m peak, 96% efficiency, Ø 160 mm.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600051084D","Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 5:1- < 6arcmin- 450 N.m","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","Moment Of Inertia":"6.07 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"38 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"720 N.m","Service life in hours":"30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C","Additional information":"Lubricated for life","Maximum axial force Fa":"6000 N at 100 rpm, during 30000 hour at 30°C 8000 N at 100 rpm, during 10000 hour at 30°C","IP degree of protection":"Shaft output: IP54","Maximum radial force Fr":"4200 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 30000 hour at 30 °C 6000 N at 100 rpm, force applied at mid-distance from output shaft during 10000 hour at 30 °C","Continuous output torque":"450 N.m","Gearbox external diameter":"160 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"6 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/fffd52fccfd57de1919d3a4cc9516f81.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600051084D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-51-6arcmin-450-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600051084D's listed efficiency (96 %) on this Gear Reducers & Gearboxes line?","answer":"Efficiency is 96% on the GBX1600051084D, which is the figure that bounds the heat the case has to dump at continuous output torque.
