What the 1FK7060-5AH71-1TH3 actually is
The 1FK7060-5AH71-1TH3 is a Siemens 1FK7 compact synchronous servo motor from the SIMOTICS S line — a brushless permanent-magnet servo typically paired with a SINAMICS S120 drive module on high-dynamic positioning axes (machine tools, packaging indexing, pick-and-place). The 1FK7 family is the compact-tier of the SIMOTICS S servo range, sitting below the 1FK7 High Dynamic and 1FT7 lines in inertia and price.
Why the lifecycle flag is the main story here
For a buyer, that collapses the question to two: are you filling a service slot on a machine already running 1FK7 hardware (in which case the code, the resolver/encoder, and the brake options must match the axis card), or are you mid-BOM-freeze on a new design that picked up this code from a carryover drawing (in which case the SIMOTICS S successor in the same frame size belongs on the table before sign-off). Quoted to order against the RFQ; no stock count, no lead-time number on the page.
How this part is sourced and quoted
Sourcing for the 1FK7060-5AH71-1TH3 runs through independent distribution against an RFQ — the EOL/hot-runner status means the order code is orderable but the channel is not a stock-and-go shelf. For an integrator with a 5-axis retrofit or a maintenance team replacing a failed unit, the procurement move is to lock the BOM line now while the hot-runner window is still open, and confirm encoder type, brake option, and shaft keyway at quote time against the nameplate of the unit being replaced.
