Continuous output torque is 800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a peak ceiling of 1280 N.m for short-duration overloads — the continuous figure governs the duty cycle on a pick-and-place or indexing axis. Torsional rigidity of 41 N.m/arcmin means the gearbox resists windup under load; for a positioning system, this stiffness directly affects the achievable settling time after a move. ## Load limits that matter for the BOM Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life — the lower figure is the safe design target for a continuous-duty application. Maximum radial force is 4200 N at mid-span for 30,000 hours, rising to 6000 N for 10,000 hours — overhung loads from a belt pulley or pinion must stay within these limits to avoid bearing fatigue. Efficiency is 94 %, meaning 6 % of input power is lost as heat — for a 10 kW input, that is 600 W of thermal dissipation that the housing and mounting surface must sink. ## Environmental fit and mounting check Shaft output seal is rated IP54 — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not washdown; the gearbox suits dry indoor machine builds, not food or outdoor duty. Housing is black anodized aluminium; the output shaft is C45 carbon steel — standard materials for a general-purpose industrial gearbox. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — roughly the sound of a vacuum cleaner at conversational distance; expect a few dB higher under load.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600120703F Planetary Gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600120703F planetary gearbox, 12:1 ratio, 800 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":"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/2dd1cf03a88ff775a5e1c6dfec410683.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600120703F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-121-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600120703F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600120703F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum peak of 1280 N.m for short-duration overloads."},{"question":"How do I get pricing and availability for GBX1600120703F?","answer":"Submit an RFQ through this listing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600120703F","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/GBX1600120703F when reusing this data.
