EOL servo motor — what the lifecycle stage means for your BOM
The 1FK7043-4CK71-1CG0: For an OEM running a packaging-machinery build, an eol_hot servo motor is the worst kind of BOM surprise: it is still functional in the field, but a one-line last-time-buy has to be sized to cover the production horizon or the line gets force-migrated to a successor with a new qualification cycle. The way out is to confirm available lot size and lead time against an RFQ before the window closes.
