That ratio is the fixed speed step — input at 1000 rpm gives you 125 rpm on the output shaft, no field adjustment. The 94 % efficiency means roughly 6 % of the input power is lost as heat inside the housing; for a 5 kW input that's about 300 W of thermal load the anodized aluminium body has to shed. Service life is rated at 30 000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — that's about 3.4 years of continuous run time before the lubricant and bearing wear reach end-of-life. The gearbox ships lubricated for life, so there's no oil-change interval to schedule. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted to order Schneider Electric has marked the GBX1600081001F as obsolete. This part is available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ time — the stock picture changes as lots come and go. We source it per your BOM line and quote the current availability and pricing against the RFQ. ## Mounting and integration — what fits where The 160 mm housing diameter and the IP54 shaft output seal mean this gearbox is designed for enclosed installation where the output shaft passes through a panel or machine frame — the seal keeps dust and splash out of the bearing cavity. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial environments but not washdown or outdoor direct-sun duty without a sunshade. Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 6000 N for the full 30 000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a shorter 10 000-hour service window. Radial force (Fr) is 4200 N for the full life, 6000 N for the reduced life — both measured with the force applied at mid-distance along the output shaft. If your application exceeds these, the bearing life drops faster than linear.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600081001F Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600081001F planetary gearbox, 8:1 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":"8:1","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/7aef7e95eb2e2c69a0bdb21e3dfa1341.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX1600081001F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-81-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600081001F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600081001F's continuous torque rating?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
