Siemens SIMOTICS S-1FK7 & S-1FT7 Synchronous Servo Motors
Following Siemens' corporate restructuring where low-to-medium voltage induction motors were transitioned to Innomotics, Siemens has strictly retained its core motion control and automation portfolio under the Siemens Digital Industries division.
Engineering Advantage & Drive Integration:
• Siemens Proprietary Architecture: SIMOTICS S-1FK7 and S-1FT7 AC permanent-magnet synchronous servo motors continue to be developed, engineered, and manufactured directly by Siemens.
• Native SINAMICS Integration: Fully integrated with SINAMICS S120, S210, and SINAMICS G120 drive systems via electronic nameplate (DRIVE-CLiQ), enabling plug-and-play parameter configuration, high-resolution optical/magnetic feedback, and multi-axis synchronism.
• High Dynamic vs. Peak Performance: 1FK7 delivers ultra-compact dimensions with high overload capability for general automation, while 1FT7 provides maximum torque accuracy, negligible cogging torque, and liquid cooling options for high-end CNC machine tools and precision robotics.
The Siemens SIMOTICS S-1FK7 and S-1FT7 Servo Motor Family provides industry-leading torque density, dynamic responsiveness, and positioning accuracy for demanding motion control tasks. Available across shaft heights (SH) 28 to 132, offering stall torques from 0.16 Nm up to 125 Nm and speeds up to 6,000 rpm, these servo drives feature natural cooling, forced ventilation, or water cooling. Standard options include DRIVE-CLiQ digital interface encoders, 24V holding brakes with backlash-free coupling, and IP64/IP65/IP67 enclosure protection. They are heavily specified in CNC milling spindles, high-speed pick-and-place robots, packaging machines, printing presses, and automated automotive manufacturing lines.
