Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C; running at higher speed or temperature reduces that figure, so the duty cycle profile matters when sizing for a 24/7 conveyor or indexing table. ## Load ratings and mechanical limits Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if you accept a 10,000-hour service interval — the trade-off lets you push harder on the output shaft when the application demands it, but the bearing life shortens accordingly. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm for 30,000 hours, applied at mid-distance from the output shaft; increasing to 6000 N drops the life to 10,000 hours. The radial load point matters — force applied closer to the gearbox face reduces the bending moment on the shaft. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, meaning the output shaft twists 1 arcminute per 41 N.m of applied torque — this stiffness figure governs positioning accuracy under load in servo-driven indexing or pick-and-place axes. ## Precision and environmental fit Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arcmin — this is the lost motion between input and output when reversing direction, critical for bidirectional positioning where each reversal eats into the tolerance budget. Shaft output sealing is IP54, meaning the output shaft end is protected against dust ingress and splashing water — suitable for dry indoor environments but not washdown or outdoor exposure without additional shaft seals. ## Sourcing reality — obsolete, quoted to order Available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. No pin-compatible or direct drop-in replacement is documented by Schneider, so a functional replacement would require re-evaluating the mounting interface, shaft dimensions, and torque envelope against the application. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes required, which simplifies MRO planning but means the unit is sealed and cannot be re-greased in the field.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600250552F Planetary Gearbox, 25:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600250552F planetary gearbox, 25:1 ratio, 700 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.","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":"25:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"9912.8 lbf.in (1120 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":"6195.5 lbf.in (700 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/c73ba5105e2b83a8a49901bbd88ffbcb.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600250552F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-251-10arcmin-700-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600250552F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600250552F?","answer":"700 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum of 1120 N.m under the same conditions.
