Lifecycle status — obsolete, sourced per RFQ
Schneider Electric lists the GBX1600201002F as Obsolete. This planetary gearbox is sourced through independent surplus and broker channels.
Torque, life, and backlash — the ratings that govern fit
Continuous output torque is 800 N.m (7080.6 lbf.in) at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient; maximum output torque reaches 1280 N.m (11328.9 lbf.in) under the same conditions. The rated service life is 30,000 hours at that continuous load. Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min. For positioning applications where lost motion matters, this figure — not the ratio — determines the repeatability ceiling. Torsional rigidity is 41 N.m/arcmin, indicating the stiffness under load before the gear train deflects. Efficiency is listed at 94 %. That is the mechanical throughput at the rated speed and torque; the remaining 6 % is dissipated as heat within the gearbox housing.
Shaft loads and sealing — what the bearings and seals handle
Maximum axial force (Fa) on the output shaft is 6000 N for the 30,000-hour life target, or 8000 N if the application accepts a reduced 10,000-hour service life. Maximum radial force (Fr) at mid-span on the output shaft is 4200 N for 30,000 hours, 6000 N for 10,000 hours. Shaft output sealing is rated IP54 — protection against dust ingress and splashing water, but not immersion or high-pressure washdown. The housing is black anodised aluminium; the shaft material is C45 carbon steel. The gearbox is lubricated for life — no maintenance oil changes. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C.
Noise floor — 70 dB at 1 m, no-load
Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load conditions. This is a measured airborne emission at the stated distance; in a cabinet or enclosure, the structure-borne component may differ. Useful as a baseline for comparing gearbox acoustic performance in a servo or positioning axis.
