Continuous output torque is 800 N·m with a maximum output torque of 1280 N·m — sizing the motor against the continuous figure (not the peak) is what governs a real conveyor or mixer duty, since the peak is the short-duration overload ceiling. ## Torsional rigidity and the load envelope at the output shaft Torsional rigidity is 41 N·m/arcmin and maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min — together these set the positioning accuracy ceiling for any servo-driven axis the gearbox feeds; backlash dominates for point-to-point moves, rigidity dominates for steady-state torque disturbance rejection. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm over the 30000-hour life (6000 N over 10000 hours), and maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm over 30000 hours (8000 N over 10000 hours) — both figures are quoted with the load applied at mid-distance from the output shaft, which is the worst-case lever arm and the one to design against. Moment of inertia is 7.47 g·cm² at the input — a low value that keeps the drive's acceleration torque budget honest when the gearbox is paired with a servo for cyclic start-stop duty. ## Efficiency, noise and the operating envelope Efficiency is 94 % at the rated reduction, and noise level is 70 dB at 1 m on no-load — useful as a baseline for cabinet acoustic budgeting, with the caveat that the loaded figure on a real machine will track higher. Operating ambient is -25…90 °C with a service life of 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — life scales down as either the average speed or the ambient rises, so derating the duty envelope is the conservative move for a hot enclosure or a high-cycle conveyor. ## Build, sealing and how it lands in a panel Shaft is C 45 steel, housing is black anodized aluminium with a black finish — the shaft seal at the output is IP54, which is splash-resistant rather than wash-down rated; this is a drivetrain component, not a hygienic-zone part, and the seal rating reflects that. The 160 mm external diameter and any-position mounting make mechanical integration straightforward behind a servo adapter — the GBX compatibility code governs which servo flange it mates to, so the BOM line should reference the compatibility code rather than guess at the pilot diameter.","metaTitle":"GBX1600161385D Schneider Electric GBX gearbox, 16:1, 800 N·m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600161385D planetary gearbox, 160 mm, 16:1 reduction, 800 N·m continuous / 1280 N·m peak, 94 % efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600161385D","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/66aa85b5e8754b2f0bf61b8390b3d5b4.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/nl/en/product/GBX1600161385D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-161-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the GBX1600161385D's efficiency rating?","answer":"Listed efficiency is 94 %, with noise level at 70 dB at 1 m on no-load — useful baselines for both power-loss budgeting and cabinet acoustic planning."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600161385D","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/GBX1600161385D when reusing this data.
