Product details

Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels

The GBX0400161403F is marked obsolete by Schneider Electric. No official successor is listed.

16:1 reduction, 32 N.m peak torque

This is a 40 mm-diameter planetary gearbox with straight teeth, reduction ratio 16:1. Maximum output torque is 32 N.m at 100 rpm, 30 °C ambient — the continuous rating is 20 N.m under the same conditions. The 94 % efficiency figure means about 6 % of input power is lost as heat, which is typical for a single-stage planetary of this size.

Backlash, forces, and service life

Maximum torsional backlash is 28 arc.min — this is a standard-precision gearbox, not a zero-backlash unit; for indexing applications that need tighter positioning, a different series (e.g. the GBX with helical teeth or a preloaded option) would be needed. Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, lubricated for life — no maintenance re-greasing interval. Maximum axial force on the output shaft is 200 N for a 10,000-hour life, derated to 160 N for the full 30,000-hour service. Radial force limits follow the same pattern: 200 N at mid-shaft for 10,000 hours, 160 N for 30,000 hours.

IP54 shaft output, aluminium housing

The shaft output seal is rated IP54 — splash protection, not submersion. The housing is black anodized aluminium; the shaft is C45 steel. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load — quiet enough for most production floor environments without acoustic enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What is GBX0400161403F's efficiency and noise level?

Efficiency is 94 %. Noise level is 55 dB at 1 m, no-load. These are typical for a straight-tooth planetary gearbox of this size.
