Continuous radial load is rated 4200 N at 100 rpm with force applied at mid-distance from the output shaft over the 30000 hour design life at 30 °C, rising to 6000 N if the design life is derated to 10000 hours at 30 °C. Continuous axial load Fa is rated 6000 N over 30000 hours at 30 °C, or 8000 N over 10000 hours at 30 °C. Service life is published at 30000 hours at 100 rpm at 30 °C, with the unit lubricated for life — no scheduled oil change on this frame. Operating temperature spans -25 °C to 90 °C, so the gearbox tolerates unheated cabinets and most outdoor-enclosure layouts. ## Motion-control fit: backlash, rigidity, efficiency, noise Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arcmin and torsional rigidity is 41 N·m/arcmin — that combination puts the GBX1600091084D in the conventional servo-geared range where positioning repeatability matters more than absolute accuracy. Mechanical efficiency is 94 %, so roughly 6 % of the input power dissipates as heat inside the gearbox housing. Acoustic output is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — a useful figure for cabinet layout where gearboxes are mounted near operator stations or noise-sensitive packaging cells; the loaded condition will read higher and should be measured on the running machine, not pulled from the no-load spec. ## Mounting, shaft, and sealing on the 160 mm frame The GBX1600091084D is rated for any mounting position, so the reducer can be oriented to suit the drivetrain layout without re-validating the lubrication. The output shaft is C 45 carbon steel in a black anodized aluminium housing, with the shaft output sealed to IP54. IP54 covers the shaft only — the housing itself is not listed as sealed, so for washdown or food-grade duty an enclosure or shroud over the gearbox is still required.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600091084D Planetary Gearbox, 9:1","metaDescription":"GBX1600091084D planetary gearbox, 9:1 reduction, 160 mm frame, 94 % efficient, now obsolete and sourced to order against an RFQ.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"9:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","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","Gearbox external diameter":"160 mm","Product or component type":"Planetary gearbox","Maximum torsional backlash":"10 arc.min","Ambient Temperature For Operation":"-25...90 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/0fda5a68c89406955323223b7bdeb17f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600091084D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-91-10arcmin/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600091084D/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the listed efficiency of GBX1600091084D?","answer":"Mechanical efficiency on this gearbox frame is 94 %, so roughly 6 % of the input power is dissipated as heat inside the housing under normal operating conditions."},{"question":"What is the noise level of GBX1600091084D?","answer":"Acoustic output is listed at 70 dB measured at 1 m under no-load conditions; the loaded reading on the running machine will be higher and should be measured in place."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600091084D","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/GBX1600091084D when reusing this data.
