16:1 planetary reduction with 800 N.m continuous rating
The GBX1600161001F is a Schneider Electric planetary gearbox with a 16:1 reduction ratio, straight teeth, and a 160 mm housing diameter. It delivers 800 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm, with a maximum of 1280 N.m at the same speed — the extra headroom handles short-duration overloads without exceeding the 30000-hour service life at 30 °C. Efficiency sits at 94 %, meaning about 6 % of input power is lost as heat through the gear mesh. The 10 arc.min maximum torsional backlash is standard for positioning applications that don't need zero-backlash precision — indexing tables or conveyor drives, not servo axes.
Mechanical limits and mounting constraints
The output shaft is C 45 steel, rated for 6000 N axial force (Fa) over 30000 hours at 100 rpm and 30 °C, or 8000 N for a 10000-hour service life. Radial force (Fr) is 4200 N at mid-shaft over 30000 hours, or 6000 N for 10000 hours — these are the load limits that govern bearing life, not the torque rating.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
Schneider Electric lists this gearbox as Obsolete. Units are available through independent surplus and broker channels — quantities are lot-specific, and each RFQ is confirmed against current inventory. For a replacement, look for a planetary gearbox with the same 160 mm flange diameter, 16:1 ratio, and 800 N.m continuous torque at 100 rpm. The 10 arc.min backlash and 30000-hour life at rated load are the performance floor to match. No direct form-fit-function cross-reference exists from Schneider.
