What the order code resolves to
The 1FK7060-5AF71-1KG0: In a robot cell the 1FK7 sits between the controller and the gearbox or direct-drive joint; resolver or absolute encoder feedback closes the position loop through the drive, and the motor's compact frame is what lets it mount inside the joint housing or tight machine frames where a larger induction servo would not clear the envelope.
Lifecycle status and the EOL-hot read
There is no official L*-cited successor carried on this record, so any migration to a current Siemens servo platform is a parametric exercise rather than a like-for-like swap. Confirm encoder type, shaft geometry, brake option, and the mating connector family before specifying — the 1FK7 compact pinout is not guaranteed compatible with the current 1FK7 generation that has replaced it on the configurator.
