What the EOL flag does to the BOM line
The 1FK7063-2AF7.-....: The lifecycle stage reads eol_hot on this 1FK7063-2AF7, which collapses the usual Siemens factory-direct option down to independent surplus and broker channels — the part still ships, but quantity is lot-specific and the commissioning clock starts the moment the RFQ lands.
Sizing the spare against the install window
Project buyers protecting a commissioning window should treat the 2.3 kW / 11 Nm / 3000 rpm envelope as the fit gate, not a guideline — a same-frame Siemens successor with a different stack length or encoder code will pass the electrical handshake and fail the mechanical draw at first jog. For volume quotes the numbers to anchor against are PN=2.3 kW, UDC=600 V, M0=11 Nm at the 100 K temperature class, and NN=3000 rpm — nameplate comparison at goods-in is the cheapest way to keep a counterfeit or wrong-stack 1FK7 out of the cabinet.
Sourcing posture for a hot-EOL servo
With eol_hot, sourcing is quoted to order against the RFQ — the storefront pulls from independent distribution and confirmed-surplus inventory, not factory stock, so availability and unit pricing are settled when the quote returns rather than pulled from a live shelf counter.
