With a 25:1 reduction ratio and 700 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, it handles the steady-state load of a conveyor or rotary table without oversizing the motor — the 1120 N.m peak rating covers acceleration transients and occasional overloads. ## Torque, life, and the real-world limits Continuous torque is 700 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; the 30000-hour service life is quoted at that same duty point — push the speed or the ambient above 30 °C and the L10 life shortens faster than a linear derate suggests. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N applied at mid-span on the output shaft for the full 30000-hour life, or 6000 N if you accept a 10000-hour service window — the difference matters when the driven load has a belt or chain pulling sideways on the shaft. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin — meaning a steady 41 N.m of torque twists the output shaft one arcminute relative to the input. For a positioning system with a 10 arcmin total backlash budget, the deflection under load eats into that allowance, so the actual repeatability at full torque is tighter than the no-load backlash spec alone suggests. ## Obsolete — sourcing through surplus channels Available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no oil-change interval in the field, which simplifies MRO but means the internal grease condition at the time of storage is what the gearbox runs on for its entire service life. ## Integration notes for a retrofit The 160 mm outer diameter and black anodized aluminium housing with C45 steel shaft match the GBX series footprint — if the machine already uses a GBX gearbox, this drops into the same bolt pattern and input pilot diameter. Shaft output protection is IP54 — fine for a dry indoor panel or guarded machine enclosure, but not for washdown zones or outdoor exposure without an additional bellows or seal cover on the output shaft. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C, so it can live inside a non-climate-controlled cabinet next to a drive that dumps heat, as long as the shaft seal and grease are rated for the sustained temperature.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600251001F Planetary Gearbox, 25:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600251001F planetary gearbox, 160 mm diameter, 25:1 reduction, 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/23111580803dbff40dd7f3d09afc0af7.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ie/en/product/GBX1600251001F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-251-10arcmin-700-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600251001F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is GBX1600251001F's listed efficiency (94 %) on this Gear Reducers & Gearboxes line?","answer":"The listed efficiency is 94 % at the rated duty point — typical for a single-stage straight-tooth planetary at 25:1 reduction. That figure assumes full-load operation at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; efficiency drops slightly at part load due to the constant gear-mesh friction component."},{"question":"What is GBX1600251001F's listed noise level (70 dB 1 m, no-load) on this Gear Reducers & Gearboxes line?","answer":"The noise level is 70 dB measured at 1 meter under no-load conditions. Straight-tooth planetary gears are inherently noisier than helical designs at the same speed — expect a few dB more under load, especially if the input speed exceeds the 100 rpm reference point."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider Electric provide for GBX1600251001F (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?","answer":"The evidence does not list specific compliance certifications for this part.
