What this code is and where it sits
The 1FK7044-4CF71-1CA0 is a Siemens 1FK7 high-dynamic synchronous servo motor in the Servo Motors line, listed under the broader Motors & Motor Controls category. The 1FK7 family is the compact, high-dynamic range that pairs with SINAMICS S120 drive lineups in machine-tool, packaging and pick-and-place cells where short-cycle positioning matters.
Lifecycle posture drives the RFQ
Lifecycle stage is recorded as eol_hot, meaning the code is in the wind-down phase — the series is moving off the orderable catalog and the sourcing channel is shifting to independent supply rather than the factory-direct line. For a storeroom planner that translates to a last-time-buy window on remaining factory stock and, beyond that, the independent channel for genuine OEM material with full traceability. Storeroom's job: pin down the exact configuration suffix (shaft, holding brake, encoder type, connector orientation) before quoting, because the 1FK7 family branches heavily on the last four characters of the order code and a near-neighbour on the shelf may not be a drop-in for the BOM line.
