Maximum output torque hits 720 N.m at the same speed and temperature, but that's the short-term peak for acceleration or shock loads, not a steady-state figure. The 8:1 reduction ratio means the input speed is eight times the output speed; torque multiplies by roughly the same factor minus the 94 % efficiency loss. That efficiency figure is the mechanical loss through the straight-tooth planetary stages — expect 6 % of input power to dissipate as heat through the black anodized aluminium housing. ## Lifecycle reality — obsolete, sourced on request Schneider Electric lists this GBX1600081002F as obsolete. Sourcing runs through independent surplus channels — quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ, not held as shelf stock. For a line-down replacement, the 160 mm diameter and 8:1 ratio are the binding constraints on fit. The IP54 shaft output rating means the output seal keeps out dust and splashing water — fine for most industrial environments but not washdown duty. ## Backlash and load ratings that govern the application Maximum torsional backlash is 6 arcmin — this is the angular play between input and output when the direction reverses. For positioning applications like indexing tables or pick-and-place, that 6 arcmin at the output translates to roughly 0.1 mm of linear error at a 100 mm radius; for continuous conveyor drives it's irrelevant. Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service window. Radial force Fr follows the same pattern: 4200 N for 30,000 hours, 6000 N for 10,000 hours — both measured at mid-distance on the output shaft. These are the limits for overhung loads like belt pulleys or chain sprockets mounted directly on the shaft.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600081002F Planetary Gearbox, 8:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600081002F planetary gearbox. 8:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 70 dB noise.","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/6b164f21a312a7bf2109482fe53ea16e.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ca/en/product/GBX1600081002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-81-6arcmin-450-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600081002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600081002F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 450 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum peak torque of 720 N.m under the same conditions.
