16:1 planetary reduction, 44 N.m continuous
The GBX0600160702F is a 60 mm-diameter planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, delivering a 16:1 reduction ratio with a continuous output torque of 44 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Maximum output torque reaches 70 N.m under the same conditions, and the gearbox is rated for a service life of 30,000 hours at that duty point.
Efficiency and noise — 94 % / 58 dB
Rated at 94 % efficiency, the GBX0600160702F keeps thermal losses low enough that the housing — black anodized aluminium — dissipates heat without external cooling in most indexing or positioning applications. Noise level is 58 dB at 1 m, no-load, which is quiet enough for laboratory or light assembly environments where operator exposure limits are a concern.
Backlash and load ratings
Maximum torsional backlash is 20 arc.min — standard precision for a straight-tooth planetary stage, adequate for general positioning but not for servo-grade indexing where sub-arcmin repeatability is needed. Maximum radial force Fr is 340 N at mid-shaft for the 30,000-hour life target, and maximum axial force Fa is 450 N under the same duty; both figures drop at higher speeds or extended life.
