7 kW, 3AC 400 V — sizing the 1FL6 to the load
The Siemens 1FL6096-1AC61-2LH1 is a member of the 1FL6 servomotor family designed to pair with the SINAMICS V70 and SINAMICS V90 converters, drawing operating power from a 3AC 400 V supply at a rated output of 7 kW. The continuous torque floor of 33.4 Nm at the 2000 rpm rated speed is the figure that gates sizing on most lines — the 40 Nm standstill figure is the short-term overload ceiling that handles acceleration and impact loads during the motion profile, not the continuous duty basis. Built as a 90 mm shaft-height low-inertia servo with an absolute encoder (20-bit single-turn, 12-bit multi-turn) and an integrated holding brake, the unit is geared to position-controlled axes where the drive must remember absolute position across power cycles without re-homing. The plain shaft with tolerance N and angle plug connector keep the mechanical interface conventional for direct coupling to a gearbox or pinion in a packaging, handling, or machine-tool axis.
IP65 and the 3AC 400 V envelope — deploying near the process
The IP65 rating with sealing ring means the motor body and encoder cavity withstand splash and dust ingress typical of a machine enclosure or a washdown-adjacent zone, though it is not a full immersion rating — the sealing ring at the mating flange is the wet-side barrier that must be seated against the gearbox or mounting face. Combined with the 3AC 400 V supply family, the 1FL6096-1AC61-2LH1 sits in the European three-phase industrial envelope rather than the 230 V class, so cabinet design must account for the higher bus voltage on the converter side. Because the motor is part of the 1FL6 family built specifically for the SINAMICS V70 and V90 drive platforms, commissioning happens through the drive's electronic nameplate readback — the encoder resolution, current limits, and brake logic are loaded into the V90 automatically when the motor is connected, rather than entered manually. That eliminates the parametric mismatch class of faults that show up when a motor and drive are paired from different families.
NRND on the lifecycle record — what the status actually means
The product class is recorded as made-to-order with no return-for-credit allowance, which means a stripped or no-longer-needed motor cannot be returned and the buyer's specification must be firm before the order enters production. For an MRO spare on a stabilised line, the practical move is to order one or two units ahead of the failure window rather than waiting for a line-down event.
Compliance and export classification
Compliance with the RoHS substance restrictions has been in force since 01-01-18, and the motor is also subject to REACH Article 33 information duties regarding the candidate list. Export classification is recorded as AL:N / ECCN:N_CNDU, which means the part is not on a controlled-list regime and ships freely under standard commercial export paperwork, simplifying cross-border stock pulls for MRO.
Sourcing posture for a stabilised line
Packaging is shipped one-piece at outer dimensions 595.00 x 369.00 x 415.00 mm, which dictates the inbound handling and rack space at goods-in when spares are held locally.
