Its 20:1 reduction ratio steps motor speed down by a factor of twenty while multiplying torque — the continuous output torque rating of 800 N.m at 100 rpm tells you what it can hold all day in a duty cycle. Maximum output torque hits 1280 N.m at the same speed, which is the short-term peak the gearbox can survive — useful for acceleration or occasional overload events, not sustained running. ## Backlash, rigidity, and what they mean for positioning Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min — that is the angular play between input and output when direction reverses. For indexing or positioning axes, this figure governs repeatability; a 10 arc.min gearbox suits general positioning but not high-precision servo axes where sub-arcmin units are specified. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, meaning it takes 41 N.m of torque to twist the output shaft by one arc-minute. Higher rigidity means less wind-up under load, which matters for stability in servo loops. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — that is about 3.4 years of continuous 24/7 running at rated torque before the bearings or gears reach end-of-life criteria. ## Shaft loads and environmental limits Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 6000 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a shorter 10,000-hour service interval. Radial force at mid-span is 4200 N for the long life, 6000 N for the shorter window. The output shaft carries an IP54 ingress rating — sealed against dust and splash, but not submersion. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, covering most indoor industrial environments without special cooling. The housing is black anodized aluminium, the shaft is C45 carbon steel. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil changes or regreasing intervals on the maintenance schedule. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — obsolete, sourced through independent channels No official successor or pin-compatible replacement is recorded from Schneider for this frame size and ratio. The page sources the part through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are confirmed at RFQ against the buyer's BOM line. For a buyer with a line down or a BOM freeze, the 94 % efficiency and 800 N.m continuous rating confirm the mechanical fit — the 160 mm frame and 20:1 ratio are the dimensions that must match the existing mount and motor interface.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600200703F Planetary Gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600200703F planetary gearbox, 160 mm, 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/8c6386081bd0afc2b46338a863d9a345.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600200703F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-201-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600200703F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600200703F?","answer":"800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
