Continuous output torque is rated 800 N.m with a peak of 1280 N.m, and service life is 30000 h at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient — the duty rating, not the peak number, is what governs whether this unit survives a high-cyclic conveyor or indexing table on a five-year horizon. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin with maximum backlash of 10 arc.min, and the moment of inertia at the input is 6.64 g.cm², which keeps reflected inertia manageable on most mid-size servo motors — confirm the motor's Jm versus the gearbox J reflected by 1/i² before locking the coupling selection. ## Radial and axial load at the output shaft Maximum radial force Fr at mid-distance from the output shaft is 4200 N over the 30000 h life at 100 rpm, or 6000 N over a shortened 10000 h life at the same speed — pushing the rated radial load toward the 10000 h figure trades service life for margin on heavy-overhung loads like chain or pinion drives. Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N over 30000 h at 100 rpm, rising to 8000 N over 10000 h, so a direct-mounted screw or thrust-bearing arrangement needs its working axial load checked against this ceiling rather than the motor's nominal thrust. Efficiency is 94 % at the rated reduction and noise is 70 dB at 1 m no-load, which is consistent with a straight-cut planetary — quieter than a helical-bevel alternative but not silent, so acoustic enclosure may be warranted in operator stations. ## Mounting environment and what the IP54 shaft seal actually protects IP54 is rated at the shaft output only, meaning the seal guards against dust ingress and splashing water on the output shaft; the housing itself is black anodized aluminium and is not sealed for high-pressure washdown, so this is a general-industrial gearbox rather than a food-and-bev or outdoor-unsheltered fit. The output shaft is C 45 medium-carbon steel and the gearbox is lubricated for life, so there is no scheduled oil change to plan into the maintenance schedule — but the 30000 h figure at 100 rpm is the lubricant's design life, and a continuously higher-speed application will shorten the service interval proportionally.","metaTitle":"GBX1600201384D Schneider Electric planetary gearbox, 20:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600201384D GBX-series planetary gearbox, 20:1 reduction, 800 N.m continuous output torque, 1280 N.m peak, 94 % efficient.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Gear Reducers & Gearboxes"],"specifications":{"title":"GBX1600201384D","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/6a08e281469d9810b2f65e9635daea7d.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600201384D/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-201-10arcmin-800-n-m/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600201384D's listed efficiency and noise level?","answer":"Efficiency is 94 % at the rated reduction and noise is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load, which is consistent with a straight-cut planetary unit — quieter than a helical-bevel but not a silent gear, so acoustic enclosure is a design choice rather than a given."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GBX1600201384D","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/GBX1600201384D when reusing this data.
