End-of-life servo motor still circulating through surplus
The 1FK7044-7AF71-1SG0: Sourcing reality for an eol_hot servo: stock is lot-specific, factory-traceable when it exists, and price reflects the spread between broker inventory and the diminishing OEM tail.
Procurement posture for an eol_hot line item
Because the lifecycle stage is eol_hot, the BOM freeze conversation shifts: lead time is no longer a factory calendar, it is the time it takes to surface a clean, traceable lot from independent channels. No factory-direct shipment is implied; quotes are pulled against each RFQ from the available surplus pool. For line-down spares, the higher-cost path is usually the right call — a single confirmed unit from a known channel prevents the cascade cost of a stalled machine. For new builds, the question is whether the integrator wants to commit a 1FK7 slot to a part whose long-term replacement is no longer factory-backed.
