Schneider's documentation pegs the headline torque at 700 N.m continuous output and 1120 N.m maximum, with a 15:1 reduction ratio — the gearhead is sized for the working duty first, the peak number second, so a retrofit has to be matched against the continuous figure rather than the headline maximum. ## Efficiency, noise, and what they say about the drivetrain Listed efficiency is 94 %, which on a planetary stage is the figure you budget against motor heat — the gearbox itself burns roughly 6 % of input power at rated load, and that loss shows up as case temperature, not useful work at the shaft. Noise is rated 70 dB at 1 m no-load, which is a typical straight-cut planetary reading and tells you the gearing will sing under load — it isn't a helical or low-noise selection, so cabinet placement and acoustic treatment matter more than for a quiet-duty reducer. ## Shaft loading and the life envelope Maximum radial force is 4200 N at 100 rpm over 30000 h at 30 °C, and maximum axial force is 6000 N over the same envelope — when a coupling or pinion is being specced to this output shaft, the 10000 h figures (6000 N radial / 8000 N axial) define the harder service envelope, and the 30000 h figures define the conservative design point. Service life is stated at 30000 h at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the unit lubricated for life — the duty limit is thermal and load, not relube interval, so the surrounding cabinet airflow and the actual radial load on the shaft decide whether a buyer hits that 30000 h figure or burns through it early. ## Backlash, rigidity, and what the precision spec buys Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min and torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, putting this in the standard backlash class rather than a low-backlash selection — for an indexing or registration drive the buyer has to budget the lost motion, for a conveyor or mixer drive it is invisible. Moment of inertia at the input is 12.35 g·cm², a small reflected load that keeps the gearbox friendly to a servo drive's tuning loop — pairing a high-inertia load on a small servo is where this becomes a non-issue, and pairing it with a stepper or a high-acceleration cycle is where it would matter. ## Form factor, sealing, and where it physically lives The housing is black anodized aluminium at 160 mm gearbox external diameter with a C45 shaft, and mounting position is listed as any position — the lube is rated for the full envelope so vertical and inverted mounting do not change the service interval. Shaft output sealing is IP54, and the operating ambient is -25 to 90 °C — IP54 keeps out splashing water and dust but is not a washdown rating, so for food-grade, outdoor, or wet-duty cells this lands inside an enclosure rather than exposed to the line.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600151384D Planetary Gearbox, 15:1","metaDescription":"Schneider GBX1600151384D planetary gearbox, 15:1 reduction, 700 N.m continuous / 1120 N.m peak, 160 mm housing.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","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,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/5ff57c7e8776c58742cebc487ad62716.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600151384D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-151-10arcmin-700-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600151384D/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the headline ratings on GBX1600151384D for matching a replacement?","answer":"The fit-critical numbers are 15:1 reduction, 700 N.m continuous output torque, 1120 N.m maximum, 94 % efficiency, 70 dB at 1 m no-load, 160 mm housing diameter, and IP54 at the shaft output — any swap has to hold the continuous torque and the 15:1 ratio at minimum, because the maximum figure is a transient ceiling, not the working point."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600151384D","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/GBX1600151384D when reusing this data.
