The shaft is C 45 steel running in a black anodized aluminium housing, factory lubricated for life, and rated for continuous output torque of 800 N.m with a peak of 1280 N.m. Efficiency is 94 % and no-load noise is 70 dB at 1 m, both figures the spec table lists for this gearbox at its published rating. The unit is catalogued as Active under the GBX compatibility code and can be specified into a new BOM line without an obsolescence gate. ## Torque, life window, and load envelope Continuous output torque is rated 800 N.m; maximum output torque is 1280 N.m. Service life is 30000 h at 100 rpm and 30 °C, which is the envelope the load curves below are drawn against. Above that speed or temperature the bearing and gear life curves shorten accordingly, so the 30000 h figure should be treated as the design baseline rather than a worst-case guarantee. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm over the 30000 h life when applied at mid-distance from the output shaft, and rises to 6000 N if the duty is constrained to 10000 h at 30 °C; maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N under the same 30000 h / 100 rpm / 30 °C envelope and 8000 N at the shorter 10000 h rating. These paired values let a designer trade shaft load against service life without leaving the published curves. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin and maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min — useful when this gearbox sits between a servo and a high-inertia load where wind-up and return play matter for positioning repeatability. The shaft output is sealed to IP54, so the gearbox is suitable for indoor industrial mounting rather than washdown or outdoor exposure. ## Mechanical integration and operating envelope Operating ambient temperature is -25 °C to 90 °C, mounting position is unrestricted (any position), and the moment of inertia at the input is 12.37 g.cm², which is what the upstream servo or stepper drive sees reflected back through the 12:1 reduction. Being lubricated for life removes one field-service item: there is no grease port or oil-level plug on this gearbox, so the integration plan can skip a maintenance access envelope around the housing. ## Sourcing posture for GBX1600121384D Current pricing and availability for GBX1600121384D are confirmed against the BOM line at quote time — lead time, volume breaks, and traceability are returned with the RFQ response rather than carried as fixed numbers on this listing.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600121384D Planetary Gearbox, 12:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600121384D planetary gearbox, 160 mm frame, 12:1 reduction, 94 % efficiency, 800 N.m continuous torque.
