No official successor is listed from the manufacturer. This unit is available through independent supply channels; quantities and pricing are confirmed at RFQ against your BOM line. ## Planetary gearbox, 160 mm, 12:1 reduction This is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from the GBX series, 160 mm external diameter, with a 12:1 reduction ratio. It delivers 800 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with a peak capability of 1280 N.m under the same conditions. The rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — a solid baseline for continuous-duty indexing or conveyor applications where the duty cycle keeps the gearbox within its thermal envelope. ## Torque, backlash, and mechanical limits Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arcmin, which places this in the standard-precision class — adequate for positioning axes where repeatability within a few arcminutes is acceptable, but not for high-precision servo-driven rotary tables. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, meaning the gearbox windup under load is predictable and linear within the elastic range. Maximum axial force (Fa) is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N for a 10,000-hour duty cycle. Maximum radial force (Fr) at mid-shaft is 4200 N for 30,000 hours, 6000 N for 10,000 hours. ## Efficiency, noise, and thermal limits Efficiency is listed at 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio. The noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions, which is moderate; expect a few dB higher under full load depending on the motor coupling and mounting stiffness. The gearbox is lubricated for life from the factory, so no field maintenance is required — but that also means the lubricant grade is fixed and cannot be changed for extreme-temperature applications outside this range. ## Materials and construction Housing is black anodized aluminium — lightweight and corrosion-resistant in normal industrial atmospheres. The output shaft is C45 carbon steel, which provides adequate hardness for keyed or shrink-disc connections but is not stainless; in humid or washdown environments, shaft surface protection (paint or seal) should be considered.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600120552F planetary gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Obsolete Schneider Electric GBX1600120552F planetary gearbox. 160 mm diameter, 12:1 reduction, 800 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm.","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":"12:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"11328.9 lbf.in (1280 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":"7080.6 lbf.in (800 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":"10 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/40ea8dc96073a5ecf7d7f4b3030b7826.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nz/en/product/GBX1600120552F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-121-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600120552F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous output torque of GBX1600120552F at 100 rpm?","answer":"800 N.m (7080.6 lbf.in) continuous at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
