Continuous output torque is rated at 800 N·m and the maximum output torque reaches 1280 N·m, with 94 % efficiency so the bulk of the input power reaches the load rather than being lost to friction and churning in the lubricant. The 30000 h service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C is the figure that sets the realistic mean-time-between-replacement for a gearbox on this frame; it is a Lubricated-for-life design, so field service is limited to mounting checks rather than oil changes. ## Precision-motion ratings — backlash, rigidity, inertia Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min with torsional rigidity of 41 N·m/arcmin — the backlash number caps how much wind-up shows up at the output when the motor reverses, and the rigidity figure tells you how much twist per N·m of reaction torque, both critical for position-controlled servo axes. Moment of inertia is 7.47 g·cm², a low figure that lets the gearbox sit on a high-acceleration servo without dominating the reflected load inertia — sizing rule of thumb is to keep the load inertia at roughly the motor rotor inertia, and a low gearbox inertia preserves headroom for the driven mechanism. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — relevant when the gearbox sits near an operator station or inside an enclosure where sound transmission amplifies; specify the no-load figure because the loaded noise floor rises with the application. ## Shaft loads, IP rating, and mounting envelope Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm over 30000 h at 30 °C, rising to 6000 N if the design life is shortened to 10000 h; maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm over 30000 h, 8000 N over 10000 h — the duration figure is the one that drives the real-world rating, not the headline number. ## Construction and the GBX line fit The shaft is C 45 steel, the standard medium-carbon grade for gearbox output shafts, paired with straight teeth rather than helical — straight-cut gears are louder under load but cheaper to manufacture and introduce no axial thrust from the gear mesh itself. Compatibility code GBX confirms the part sits inside the GBX 160 mm family; the 160 mm external diameter is the mechanical frame reference for matching servo adapters and motor flanges within that series.","metaTitle":"GBX1600161384D Schneider GBX 160 mm Planetary Gearbox, 16:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161384D planetary gearbox, 16:1 reduction, 1280 N·m peak, 94 % efficiency, active line, sourced to order against RFQ.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600161384D","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/5b66f0d72083514bad14f40b13ace89c.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600161384D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-161-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600161384D","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/GBX1600161384D when reusing this data.
