What this code is and what it sits on
The 1FK7042-5AF7Z is a Siemens SIMOTICS S synchronous servomotor in the 1FK7 compact frame — a low-inertia brushless servo typically paired with a SINAMICS S120 drive module through a DRIVE-CLiQ encoder cable.

Siemens 1FK7042-5AF7Z SIMOTICS S servo motor, 2.27 kg, EOL-hot, SIMOTICS S synchronous servomotor family for SINAMICS drive pairing.

Drop-in substitution is not guaranteed — both are 1FK7042-5AF7x frame motors but the -5AF7Z at 2.27 kg versus the -5AF71-1DB0 at 5.44 kg points to different shaft, holding-brake, and encoder options inside the same stator, so the resolver/encoder cable and brake connector pinout must be checked against the axis wiring before a swap.
