Continuous output torque is 800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum of 1280 N.m under the same conditions — enough for indexing tables, conveyor drives, or positioning axes that don't hammer the peak rating. Torsional rigidity sits at 41 N.m/arcmin, and maximum backlash is 10 arcmin — that's standard precision, not zero-backlash. If your servo loop needs under 5 arcmin, this box isn't the one. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, but findable Schneider lists this gearbox as obsolete. No official successor is recorded — the GBX family has been superseded by newer planetary series with different mounting interfaces. Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific; we quote against your BOM and confirm availability at RFQ. No stock-holding claim — this is a locate-and-quote line. ## Load ratings that govern the fit Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N for the 30,000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C, or 8000 N if you accept a 10,000-hour life. Radial force Fr at mid-shaft is 4200 N for the longer life, 6000 N for the shorter. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C — that's about 3.4 years of continuous run. The box is lubricated for life, so no oil-change schedule, but when the grease degrades, the unit is a swap, not a service. Shaft output seal is IP54 — splash-proof, not washdown. The housing is black anodized aluminium, shaft material C45 steel. Ambient range is -25 to 90 °C, which covers most indoor industrial floors but not oven zones. ## Efficiency and noise — what the numbers mean on the line Efficiency is 94 % — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth. That means 6 % of input power becomes heat; at full rated torque, plan for about 50 W of thermal dissipation through the housing. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — roughly the hum of a busy office. Under load, expect a few dB more; straight-tooth gears whine more than helical, so if acoustic specs are tight, budget for an enclosure.","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX1600200553F Planetary Gearbox, 20:1, 800 N.m","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600200553F planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 20:1 ratio, 800 N.m continuous torque.","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":"20:1","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/76dd921ef55d38a3063dc06c6ad75875.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600200553F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-201-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600200553F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600200553F?","answer":"800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C.
