That 60 % overhead above continuous is what handles acceleration spikes and momentary overloads without tripping the machine cycle. The 25:1 reduction ratio in a single planetary stage means the input motor sees about 1/25th of the output torque reflected back — a 2.8 Nm motor at the input can drive the full 700 Nm continuous output. Straight-cut teeth keep efficiency at 94 %, but they transmit more vibration than helical gears; the 70 dB noise level at 1 m is typical for this tooth form under no-load. ## Backlash, rigidity, and bearing life — the numbers that decide positioning performance Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arcmin — that is the lost motion at the output when reversing direction. For a pick-and-place or indexing axis, that 10 arcmin translates to about 0.29 mm of linear error at a 100 mm arm radius; if your application needs better than that, this gearbox is not the right fit. Torsional rigidity of 41 N·m/arcmin tells you how much the gear train winds up under load — at 700 Nm continuous, the elastic wind-up is about 17 arcmin on top of the backlash. Service life is rated 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C with the full continuous torque applied. The axial and radial force limits at that life point are 6000 N and 4200 N respectively, both measured with the force applied at mid-span on the output shaft. Push those numbers to 8000 N axial or 6000 N radial and the bearing life drops to 10,000 hours — the trade-off is explicit in the ratings. ## Obsolete — sourcing reality for the GBX1600250701F Schneider Electric lists this planetary gearbox as obsolete. A direct drop-in replacement from the original manufacturer does not exist. Stock is available through independent surplus and new-old-stock channels. Quantities are lot-specific — confirmed at RFQ against your BOM line. The black anodized aluminium housing, C45 steel shaft, and lifetime lubrication mean a stored unit that has not been run is functionally identical to one pulled from a production line. ## Mounting and environmental limits The 160 mm outer diameter housing is the envelope constraint — plan for that clearance in the machine frame. Shaft output seal is rated IP54, so it handles dust and splashing water but not washdown. Operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C; the lifetime lubrication is good across that band without regreasing intervals.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600250701F Planetary Gearbox, 25:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600250701F planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 25:1 ratio, 700 Nm 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":"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/54cbf2c50aa7273e13fbfc45bf49f829.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600250701F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-251-10arcmin-700-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600250701F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the continuous torque rating of the GBX1600250701F?","answer":"700 Nm continuous at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient.
