Maximum output torque reaches 1280 N.m under the same conditions, covering peak loads during acceleration or momentary overload events. The 32:1 reduction ratio steps the motor speed down while multiplying torque by that ratio, less the 94 % efficiency loss. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin — this tells you how much the output shaft twists under load, which matters for positioning accuracy in servo-driven applications where angular windup affects the final stop position. ## Lifecycle reality — obsolete, but still specifiable for a critical spare Schneider Electric lists the GBX1600321001F as obsolete. For a line with this gearbox already installed, securing a spare before the next failure is the prudent move — the 30000-hour service life at 100 rpm and 30 °C gives a planning horizon, but once the unit is obsolete, replacement stock is limited to what independent channels hold. No stock-holding claim — each lot is verified at the point of inquiry. ## Mechanical interface and environmental limits Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at mid-shaft distance for the full 30000-hour life, or 6000 N if the duty cycle is limited to 10000 hours. Maximum axial force Fa follows the same pattern: 6000 N for 30000 hours, 8000 N for 10000 hours. These are the load limits for the output bearing, not the gear mesh. Shaft output sealing is rated IP54 — suitable for indoor industrial environments with dust and light splash, but not for washdown or submerged service. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no maintenance oil changes are needed — one less PM task on the schedule.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600321001F Planetary Gearbox, 32:1","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GBX1600321001F planetary gearbox, 160 mm frame, 32:1 ratio, 800 N.m continuous torque, 94% efficiency.
