Rated for 800 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent torque of 1280 N.m under the same conditions. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, and maximum backlash is held to 10 arc.min — tight enough for positioning axes that don't need zero-backlash precision. ## Torque, life, and load capacity Service life is 30000 hours at rated torque and speed — that's about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 operation before the bearings or gears wear past spec. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N for the full 30000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a shorter 10000-hour service interval. Maximum radial force is 4200 N at mid-shaft for 30000 hours, or 6000 N for 10000 hours — the radial limit drops faster than the axial one as you extend the duty cycle. ## Construction and environmental fit Housing is black anodized aluminium; the output shaft is C45 steel. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions — audible but not objectionable in a typical machine room. No official successor or cross-reference is recorded from the manufacturer. The GBX series has been superseded by newer planetary families, but no pin-mount or bolt-pattern equivalent is listed. Available through independent surplus and broker channels.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161002F planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161002F planetary gearbox, 16:1 ratio, 800 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 10 arc.min backlash.","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":"16:1","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/d76eb9898d236401d25c86e7ea104357.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/us/en/product/GBX1600161002F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-161-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600161002F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the key torque ratings for GBX1600161002F?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
