Continuous output torque is 450 N·m with a maximum output torque of 720 N·m — the peak figure is the short-duration ceiling the drivetrain sees during accel/decel transients, not the steady-state sizing value (cites:,). ## Shaft loads bounded by duty hours, not just by nameplate Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm applied at mid-distance from the output shaft during the 30000-hour life at 30 °C, rising to 6000 N if the duty is capped at 10000 hours over the same temperature — the hour figure is the binding limit, not the higher headline (cites:). Maximum axial force Fa follows the same envelope: 6000 N at 100 rpm over 30000 hours at 30 °C, 8000 N over 10000 hours at 30 °C. Sized this way, the gearbox lives its 30000-hour rating without premature bearing wear (cites:,). Service life is rated at 30000 hours at 100 rpm at 30 °C ambient — operation above that duty point, or in ambient temperatures across the −25…90 °C operating window, must be re-derived against the published derating curves (cites:,). ## Positioning accuracy: backlash and torsional rigidity Maximum torsional backlash is 6 arc.min — the angular slop between input and output at reversal, sized for servo positioning where sub-arc-minute repeatability is not required (cites:). Torsional rigidity is 38 N·m/arcmin, so the shaft wind-up under peak load stays within the positioning budget the drivetrain was designed for (cites:). Moment of inertia at the input is 4.63 g·cm², small enough that the gearbox does not dominate the drivetrain's reflected inertia when paired with a servo in its power class (cites:). ## Acoustic and efficiency footprint Efficiency is 96 %, so the gearbox absorbs roughly 4 % of the transmitted power as heat — at a continuous 450 N·m output that loss defines the housing thermal budget (cites:). Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — a useful ceiling for clean-room and GMP-adjacent enclosures where the gearbox sits inside the acoustic envelope of the machine (cites:). ## Build, sealing, and panel-side fit The housing is black anodized aluminium and the unit is lubricated for life — no scheduled oil service, so the gearbox mounts and runs without an oil-fill access in the panel layout (cites:,). Shaft output is sealed to IP54 — adequate for indoor panel-side mounting away from direct washdown or spray (cites:). Mounting position is unrestricted (any position), so the gearbox can be oriented to match the drivetrain packaging without re-derating the service-life figures (cites:). ## Active production and RFQ posture Specified into the BOM and quoted to order through independent distribution — availability, current pricing, and volume breaks confirmed at RFQ against the requested quantity (cites:, C1).","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600080844D Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600080844D GBX-series planetary gearbox, 160 mm frame, 8:1 reduction, 450 N·m continuous output torque.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600080844D","Efficiency":"96 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 8:1- < 6arcmin- 450 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"8:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"4.63 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/47cc4240d27e5466c82fd0e0c9353ac8.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600080844D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-81-6arcmin-450-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600080844D's listed noise level at no-load?","answer":"70 dB measured at 1 m, no-load — a useful acoustic ceiling for indoor enclosures and GMP-adjacent cells where the gearbox sits inside the machine's overall sound profile."},{"question":"Where can I buy GBX1600080844D and how do I get a price?","answer":"No stock-holding or lead-time figure is asserted on the listing itself."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600080844D","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600080844D when reusing this data.
