It is sold under the short name GBX with a black anodized aluminium housing, a C 45 steel output shaft, and a lubrication-for-life fill — meaning the gearbox is sealed at the factory and the buyer does not schedule a grease interval for the internal planet stage. ## Torque, backlash, and the load envelope Continuous output torque is 800 N.m and maximum output torque is 1280 N.m, both governed by a 30,000-hour service life rating at 100 rpm and 30 °C; the 41 N.m/arcmin torsional rigidity and 10 arc.min maximum torsional backlash are the two numbers a positioning application will actually feel through the geartrain. The moment of inertia at the input is 7.47 g·cm², which sets the acceleration demand on the upstream servo — pair it with a motor whose rotor inertia lands within roughly an order of magnitude to keep the coupling stable under cyclic moves. Maximum radial force at the output shaft is 4200 N applied at mid-distance from the shaft during the 30,000-hour envelope, and 6000 N during a shortened 10,000-hour envelope; maximum axial force is 6000 N over the same 30,000-hour rating, climbing to 8000 N over 10,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — these are the bearing-life figures, not the gearbox mechanical stops. ## Ambient envelope, sealing, and the noise floor Operating ambient temperature spans −25 °C to 90 °C and the gearbox mounts in any position, so it drops into a vertical machine frame or an inverted actuator mount without remounting the planet carrier. The shaft output is sealed to IP54, which keeps splashing water and dust out of the output seal but does not make it a washdown housing — keep the gearbox out of direct jet wash and away from food-grade hose-down zones. Efficiency is 94% and the no-load noise level is 70 dB measured at 1 m — both consistent with a straight-tooth planetary stage; a helical stage would shift the noise floor lower and the efficiency figure slightly higher.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161082D planetary gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161082D GBX-series planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 800 N.m continuous / 1280 N.m peak, 94% efficient, IP54 shaft.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600161082D","Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 16:1- < 10arcmin- 800 N.m","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","Moment Of Inertia":"7.47 g.cm²","Mounting position":"Any position","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"1280 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":"800 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/8758cd3e1c1671d4b52837292e8698a5.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600161082D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-161-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the listed efficiency of GBX1600161082D?","answer":"The published efficiency is 94% for this GBX-series planetary stage, which is the figure to budget into motor sizing — the remaining 6% shows up as heat at the housing."},{"question":"How loud is GBX1600161082D at the output shaft?","answer":"Noise level is rated at 70 dB measured at 1 m under no-load conditions, in line with a straight-tooth planetary set; if the application is noise-sensitive, a helical variant would drop the floor but it is a different part number."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600161082D","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/GBX1600161082D when reusing this data.
