Product details

Obsolete — sourcing the GBX1600320702F now

Schneider Electric has marked the GBX1600320702F as obsolete. No official successor is recorded — this is a straight-to-surplus-channel part. Any remaining stock is what's already in the channel — no factory replenishment.

Rated for 800 N.m continuous output torque at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. That is the sustained load it can carry across a shift without overheating the lubricant or exceeding the 30000-hour service life target. Peak capability reaches 1280 N.m at the same speed and temperature — a 60 % overload margin for acceleration or momentary jams. The torsional rigidity of 41 N.m/arcmin tells you how much windup the gear train has under load: at full continuous torque the shaft twists about 19.5 arcmin, which matters for positioning accuracy in a closed-loop servo system. Maximum backlash is 10 arcmin — straight-tooth planetary stages inherently carry more lash than helical. For a pick-and-place or indexing axis this is acceptable; for a precision contouring path the repeatability error at reversal may be too high.

Mechanical integration — shaft loads and sealing

The output shaft is C45 steel in a black anodised aluminium housing, 160 mm outer diameter. Rated axial force is 6000 N for the 30000-hour life window, climbing to 8000 N if you accept a 10000-hour life. Radial force applied mid-shaft is 4200 N for the longer life, 6000 N for the shorter. IP54 at the shaft output — it keeps dust and splashing water out of the seal lip, but it's not washdown-rated. The gearbox is lubricated for life, so no oil-change interval to schedule. Ambient operating range is -25 to 90 °C; efficiency is 94 %, with noise at 70 dB at 1 m under no-load.

Frequently asked questions

What is the continuous torque rating of GBX1600320702F?

The continuous output torque is 800 N.m at 100 rpm and 30 °C ambient. Peak torque reaches 1280 N.m under the same conditions.

What does the 10 arcmin backlash mean for positioning?

10 arcmin of maximum torsional backlash is typical for a straight-tooth planetary stage. At the output shaft this translates to about 0.29 mm of lost motion on a 100 mm radius arm — acceptable for indexing or conveyor drives, but not for reversing precision cuts or contouring where cumulative lash affects part geometry.
