What the order code identifies
The 1FK7042-5AF71-1KH3 is a Siemens servo motor in the Motors & Motor Controls category, listed under Servo Motors. The catalog description names it as a SERVO MOTOR by Siemens with the part number 1FK7042-5AF71-1KH3 carried through to the title.
Lifecycle status and what it does to the BOM
The ledger marks this code with eol_hot — Siemens production has closed out, so the path forward is independent-channel sourcing rather than a fresh factory order. There is no official successor MPN carried in the lifecycle record, so a like-for-like swap to a currently-built Siemens servo is not on the table without a mechanical or firmware re-spec. For a buyer hitting this on a live line, the practical read is: confirm the encoder type, brake option, and shaft detail against the nameplate on the installed motor before quoting — the order-code suffix encodes options that the bare part number alone does not expose, and a wrong-option replacement on a hot EOL is a far more expensive mistake than a short RFQ cycle.
Sourcing posture for an EOL servo
No stock count, lead-time number, or authorization claim is made here; the storefront qualifies the supply channel, not the factory.
