Maximum radial force Fr on the output shaft is 4200 N over the 30000 h life at mid-shaft and rises to 6000 N if the design point is only 10000 h; maximum axial force Fa follows the same pattern at 6000 N / 8000 N, so the loading case has to be matched to the duty, not just to the headline torque (cite:,). Operating ambient runs -25…90 °C, and the unit can be mounted in any position, which simplifies retrofitting into a packaged skid where the gearbox orientation is dictated by the upstream servo or right-angle drive (cite:,). The shaft seal is rated IP54 at the output — splash and dust, not pressure washdown — so outdoor or wet-end placement needs a cover or the unit moves inside the cabinet (cite:). ## What 94 % efficiency and 70 dB buy you Efficiency is 94 %, which is the gearing loss budget — at 800 N.m continuous that converts directly to heat that has to leave the housing, and the black anodized aluminium case is the path it leaves by (cite:,). Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m no-load, which is the bench figure — under load with a real coupling and brake, the acoustic profile will track the motor more than the gearbox, but it confirms this is a quiet planetary stage rather than a helical-bevel unit (cite:,). ## Active production, sourced to RFQ Schneider Electric GBX series gearboxes are specified against the driven machine, not the catalog — quote against the BOM with the reduction ratio, frame size, continuous torque, and shaft-load case attached, and pricing / lead time come back with the RFQ; we source through independent distribution rather than factory-direct, so confirm everything at quote time (cite:,).","metaTitle":"Schneider GBX1600201083D planetary gearbox, 20:1, Ø160 mm","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600201083D planetary gearbox, 20:1 reduction, Ø160 mm frame, 800 N·m continuous torque, 94 % efficiency.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600201083D","Efficiency":"94 %","Noise level":"70 dB at 1 m, no-load","description":"gearbox with straight teeth GBX- Ø 160 mm- reduction 20:1- < 10arcmin- 800 N.m","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","Moment Of Inertia":"6.64 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/c1773996ca7087b24d2a03ea1670ddfa.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600201083D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-201-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600201083D's listed efficiency?","answer":"Efficiency is 94 % on this planetary gearbox (cite:).
