With a 16:1 reduction ratio, it steps a 1500 rpm input motor down to roughly 94 rpm output at the shaft, multiplying the motor torque by the ratio times the 94 % efficiency figure. The straight-tooth gear geometry keeps backlash to 10 arc.min maximum — that is the positioning repeatability floor for pick-and-place or indexing applications where reversal errors matter. ## Service life and environmental limits Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm output speed and 30 °C ambient — the thermal budget at that speed and load sets the L10 bearing life; run it hotter or faster and the service hours derate proportionally. The operating ambient range spans -25 to 90 °C, so it handles both cold-start freezer lines and hot motor-coupled enclosures without a separate heater or cooler. Shaft output sealing is IP54 — splash-protected but not submersible; in washdown zones the gearbox body needs external shielding or a drip shield over the output seal. ## Shaft loading and integration Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the 30,000-hour life target, or 8000 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service window — the bearing selection governs this trade-off. Radial force limit is 4200 N at 100 rpm for the long-life case, applied at mid-span on the output shaft — a belt-drive or pinion overhung load must stay under this to avoid premature bearing wear. The black anodised aluminium housing (160 mm outer diameter) mounts in any position, and the C45 steel output shaft handles keyed or shrink-disc couplings without surface-hardening concerns. Lubricated for life — no oil-change interval to schedule, which simplifies the maintenance log for a critical spare. No direct pin-compatible alternative within the GBX series — the 160 mm frame size and 16:1 ratio are specific to this order code; a ratio change or frame upsizing would require re-verifying the coupling and mounting interface.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX1600161083D planetary gearbox, 16:1 ratio","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161083D planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 800 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency, 30,000 h service life.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600161083D","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/ad1b707d5bf232364817e2bad8387bda.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600161083D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-161-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600161083D?","answer":"Continuous output torque is 800 N.m, with a maximum peak of 1280 N.m for short-duration overloads.
