Continuous output torque is 7080.6 lbf.in (800 N.m) at 100 rpm and 86 °F (30 °C); maximum output torque reaches 11328.9 lbf.in (1280 N.m) under the same conditions. Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min — this is a standard-precision grade, not a zero-backlash unit. For positioning applications requiring tighter repeatability, a lower-backlash variant in the GBX family would be the right call. ## Rated life and thermal limits — 30000 hours at full load Service life is 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no scheduled oil changes. Ambient temperature range for operation is -13 to 194 °F (-25 to 90 °C). Maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at 100 rpm for the full 30000-hour life, or 8000 N for a 10000-hour duty cycle. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at mid-span on the output shaft for 30000 hours, or 6000 N for 10000 hours. These are the load limits that govern bearing life — exceeding them shortens service life proportionally. ## Obsolete — sourced through independent channels Schneider Electric lists the GBX1600320553F as obsolete. Available through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ; pricing and lead time are quoted against the BOM quantity. No stock-holding claim — sourced per order. ## Efficiency and noise — 94 % at 70 dB Rated efficiency is 94 %, typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth at this ratio. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m, no-load — within range for a 160 mm-frame gearbox in a machine-tool or conveyor drive application. Shaft output seal is rated IP54 — suitable for indoor environments with dust and splash exposure, but not for washdown or submerged service.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600320553F Planetary Gearbox, 32:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600320553F planetary gearbox, 32:1 ratio, 800 N.m 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":"32:1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Housing material":"Black anodized aluminium","Device short name":"GBX","Compatibility code":"GBX","Torsional rigidity":"41 N.m/arcmin","Maximum output torque":"11328.9 lbf.in (1280 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":"7080.6 lbf.in (800 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/e2313fe2f44cd9826f66ed91da06996b.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/GBX1600320553F/gearbox-with-straight-teeth-gbx-ø-160-mm-reduction-321-10arcmin-800-n-m/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/GBX1600320553F/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy GBX1600320553F and how do I get a price?","answer":"Sourced to order through independent distribution against an RFQ.
