Use this checklist when a machine needs a replacement, an online result shows only a similar configuration, or you want to compare sourcing a spare with repairing the original unit.
Replacement sourcing / request checklist
Source an Indramat Replacement Part
The catalog is a starting point for identifying a part, not a limit on what you can ask Litco to source. Send the complete designation for the motor, drive, controller or power supply you need, even when it is not listed or currently held in inventory.
Start with the full type code
- Copy the designation exactly, including decimal points, leading zeroes, slashes and every suffix. Attach a clear photo so uncertain characters can be checked.
- Include the R911 material number if it is present and readable. Keep the type code, material number and serial number separate; you can start a request without an R911 number.
- If the label is damaged, send the readable characters, full-unit photos, connector views and the machine builder and model. Mark missing information rather than guessing.
Preserve the configuration that matters
- Motors: include feedback, brake and connection details, the shaft and flange, and the connected drive designation.
- Drives: include firmware, function ID and option-module labels, plus the motor and power supply used with the unit.
- Controllers: include interfaces, safety options, software version and available machine project or parameter backups.
- Power supplies: include the complete label and the connected drive modules, filters, chokes and other relevant system components.
Describe the purchasing requirement
- State the quantity, required date and delivery location. Distinguish an urgent machine-down need from a planned spare.
- Tell Litco which conditions you can consider, such as unused surplus or a previously used unit. Condition, included hardware and testing must be agreed for the offered unit.
- Say whether you need a replacement, repair evaluation or both. Include the fault history when repair is an option.
Confirm the offered unit before ordering
- Litco reviews current stock and sourcing options for the request. A product page does not guarantee that the exact configuration is immediately available.
- Compare the offered type code, material number where available, revision, firmware and installed options with your original evidence. Similar-looking units are not automatically interchangeable.
- Confirm condition, included accessories, testing scope, price, shipping and lead time in the quote. Keep any unresolved configuration questions visible before accepting a replacement.
Do not assume
- Do not shorten the code to a family prefix when requesting an exact replacement.
- Do not assume an R911 number copied from another listing confirms your installed configuration.
- Do not treat a catalog listing as a current stock or delivery promise.
Common questions
What this checklist can and cannot establish.
Can Litco source a part that is not listed on the website?
You can request it. Send the complete type code and nameplate photos so Litco can review identification, sourcing options and current availability. The catalog is not a complete list of possible sourcing requests.
Do I need an R911 number to request a quote?
No. Start with the full type code and a clear nameplate photo. Include the R911 number when available, keeping it separate from the serial number.
Does a listed product mean it is in stock?
No. Current availability, condition, configuration and lead time are confirmed for your request before ordering.
Can I compare a replacement with repairing my original unit?
Yes. State that you want both options, and include the fault history, required date and whether the original unit is available for evaluation. Repairability and replacement availability require separate checks.
