End-of-life run, still in service
The 1FK7060-5AH71-1UG0 is a Siemens servo motor carrying a of eol_hot, so it sits in the running-out phase — the factory is no longer taking new orders against the standard BOM, but installed units, spare-part stock, and independent-channel inventory continue to keep the fleet turning. For an MRO buyer that is the main signal: keep it on the shelf as a critical spare if your line has one fitted, because the replenishment window after channel inventory burns through is genuinely thin.
Buying posture when the line is down
With the part on eol_hot, the practical sourcing path is independent-channel supply quoted to the BOM quantity — min/max thinking applies because the inventory pool is finite and lot-specific. Build the RFQ with the full order code string so the channel can confirm encoder type, brake option, and shaft detail before release; mismatch on those suffixes is the most common reason a 'same' servo fails to drop into a panel without rewiring.
