Where the SIMODRIVE 1FK7 class lives in a line
The 1FK7042-5AF71-1DU5-Z: D02+G31+H11+X02: SIMODRIVE 1FK7 series motors are compact synchronous servo motors used as the actuator half of a SIMOVERT or SINAMICS drive pairing — the motor delivers torque, the drive module supplies the commutation, and the gearing (option G31 here) reduces speed to the output shaft rating the machine designer budgeted for. In a typical packaging or converting line, that pairing drives a feed roll, a cross-cutter, or a small indexing axis where the holding brake (option H11) holds the load stationary when the enable is removed.
Lifecycle read and the sourcing decision
With no official successor order code published on this entry, the safe move is to confirm the configuration code on the nameplate matches D02+G31+H11+X02 before accepting any quoted unit — a 1FK7042 with a different option set is electrically and mechanically a different motor, even at the same frame size. For projects on a commissioning window, ordering spares for startup at the same time as the build quantity protects the install date if the last batch ships short. Quoted to order against the RFQ; current pricing and lot availability confirmed at quote time.
