The continuous output torque is 700 N.m, while the maximum output torque reaches 1120 N.m — the margin between those two figures tells you the overload headroom for intermittent peak loads without oversizing the gearbox. The 94 % efficiency means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat inside the housing. For a 700 N.m continuous output at the rated speed, that heat has to be dissipated through the black anodized aluminium housing — no external cooling is assumed, so the ambient temperature range of -25 to 90 °C sets the thermal boundary. ## Service life and load limits at rated speed Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm output speed and 30 °C ambient. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance interval for oil changes — the life rating is the replacement trigger. Axial and radial force limits depend on the duty cycle target: at 100 rpm and 30 °C, the maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N for the 30,000-hour life target, or 8000 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service life. Similarly, maximum radial force Fr applied at mid-distance from the output shaft is 4200 N for 30,000 hours or 6000 N for 10,000 hours. These are not separate ratings — they trade life against load. ## Backlash and positioning accuracy Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min — this is the angular play at the output shaft when the input is locked. For indexing or positioning applications where cumulative error matters, this figure sets the repeatability floor; a lower-backlash variant would be needed for sub-arcmin positioning. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, which means the output shaft twists 1 arcmin for every 41 N.m of applied torque. That stiffness couples with the backlash figure to determine the total positioning error under load. ## Mounting and environmental sealing Mounting position is any position, so the gearbox can be flange-mounted in any orientation without derating. The shaft output carries an IP54 rating — protected against dust ingress and splashing water, but not submersion or high-pressure washdown. Shaft material is C45 carbon steel, and the housing is black anodized aluminium. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — expect a few dB higher under full load depending on the motor coupling and mounting stiffness. ## Sourcing — active production, quoted per BOM Sourced through independent distribution channels against an RFQ.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600151383D Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600151383D planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 15:1 reduction, 700 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600151383D","Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 15:1- < 10arcmin- 700 N.m","Gear box type":"Straight teeth","Housing colour":"Black","Shaft material":"C 45","Reduction ratio":"15:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Moment Of Inertia":"12.35 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"1120 N.m","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","Continuous output torque":"700 N.m","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/298afc37aeeca91c1c0a2990bf6b700c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600151383D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-151-10arcmin-700-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600151383D's continuous torque rating?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 700 N.m, with a maximum output torque of 1120 N.m for intermittent peak loads.
