Reduction ratio is 9:1 with maximum torsional backlash of 10 arc.min, paired with a torsional rigidity of 41 N.m/arcmin — the figure that governs how the gearbox resists wind-up under step loads on the output shaft. Service life is rated at 30000 h at 100 rpm at 30 °C, and the gearbox is lubricated for life, so the unit ships sealed with no scheduled oil change on the maintenance schedule. ## Efficiency and acoustic footprint Efficiency is 94 %, which at a 9:1 reduction means roughly 6 % of the input power is dissipated as heat in the gear stage — sized for the thermal envelope of the housing under continuous duty at 100 rpm. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load, measured in free-field conditions; in-panel mounting typically attenuates this further, but the figure matters when the gearbox is specified near operator stations or sound-sensitive areas. ## Shaft loading envelope Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm applied at mid-distance from the output shaft over 30000 h at 30 °C, or 6000 N over 10000 h — the higher figure only applies when the service-life target is shortened accordingly. Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm over 30000 h at 30 °C, rising to 8000 N when the life target drops to 10000 h, so any thrust load from the driven machine must be checked against the rated duty cycle. The shaft is C 45 carbon steel and the output seal carries an IP54 rating, so dust ingress and splashing water are tolerated but the gearbox is not rated for jet wash or immersion — a relevant constraint in food, beverage, or outdoor skids. ## Mounting and deployment envelope Ambient temperature for operation is -25 to 90 °C, covering typical cabinet and machine-room environments without derating the service-life figure quoted above. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture Lifecycle stage is recorded as current, so the part remains an active line within the Schneider Electric GBX series; no successor order code is listed on the record. Pricing and availability are confirmed against an RFQ for production quantities; the storefront quotes to order through independent distribution with full traceability on the supplied units.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600091384D planetary gearbox, 9:1","metaDescription":"GBX1600091384D planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric, 160 mm frame, 9:1 reduction, 94 % efficiency, 70 dB no-load noise.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600091384D","Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 9:1- < 10arcmin","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,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/c484c9442643af4f5557d5c2e4ab85ad.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600091384D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-91-10arcmin/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What efficiency and noise level does GBX1600091384D carry?","answer":"Efficiency is 94 % at the 9:1 reduction ratio, and the noise level is 70 dB measured at 1 m under no-load conditions.
