Continuous output torque is 700 N.m (6195.5 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C; maximum output torque reaches 1120 N.m (9912.8 lbf.in) under the same conditions — the peak figure governs short-duration overload events, while the continuous figure sets the thermal limit for sustained duty. ## Torque, life, and force limits Rated service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — this is the L10 life under the rated continuous torque; the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval factors into the maintenance schedule. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N for the 30000-hour life target, or 8000 N if the application accepts a 10000-hour life at the same speed and temperature. Maximum radial force (applied at mid-span on the output shaft) is 4200 N for the 30000-hour rating, or 6000 N for the 10000-hour rating — these limits drop if the load point moves closer to the bearing. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin — a stiffness figure that matters for positioning accuracy in servo-driven indexing or pick-and-place axes where windup under load must stay within the error budget. ## Sourcing — obsolete, quoted to order No official successor or pin-compatible replacement is recorded from the original manufacturer — a functional replacement would require a different frame size or mounting pattern, so a mechanical re-design of the interface is likely. ## Environmental and mechanical fit Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 to 90 °C (-13 to 194 °F) — the gearbox can run in unheated machine enclosures or near hot process equipment as long as the internal lubricant temperature stays within the rated envelope. Shaft output protection is IP54 — the output seal resists dust ingress and splash, but the gearbox body is not rated for washdown; a drip shield or enclosure is needed in wet environments. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — a typical figure for a straight-tooth planetary at this size; helical or crowned-tooth gearboxes would run quieter but are not this part.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600151002F Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600151002F planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 15:1 ratio, 700 N.m continuous torque.
