160 mm planetary — 8:1 reduction, 450 N.m continuous
The GBX1600080551F is a straight-tooth planetary gearbox from Schneider Electric's GBX series, with a 160 mm housing diameter and an 8:1 reduction ratio. It delivers 450 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with a maximum intermittent rating of 720 N.m under the same conditions. Torsional backlash is held to 6 arc.min maximum, and torsional rigidity is rated at 38 N.m/arcmin — figures that matter for positioning accuracy in indexing or pick-and-place applications where load reversal occurs.
Load ratings and service life at 100 rpm
Rated service life is 30,000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, with the gearbox lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes. Maximum axial force (Fa) is 6000 N for the full 30,000-hour life, or 8000 N if the application accepts a 10,000-hour service window. Maximum radial force (Fr) applied at mid-span on the output shaft is 4200 N for 30,000 hours, or 6000 N for 10,000 hours. Efficiency is listed at 94 %, and noise level at 70 dB measured at 1 m under no-load conditions.
Obsolete — sourced through independent channels
Schneider Electric has marked the GBX1600080551F as obsolete. The gearbox is available through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ.
