Siemens 6SL3121-1TE28-5AA3 SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module
An externally cooled S120 module positioned between the TE26 and TE31 power classes for one motor axis.
Product Identification
6SL3121-1TE28-5AA3 is a spare-part Single Motor Module for the SINAMICS S120 booksize drive platform. It supplies one motor axis from the common DC link and uses DRIVE-CLiQ for coordinated system communication. The module belongs to the externally cooled AA3 hardware generation and is listed by Siemens in the product-cancellation phase.

Functions
- Converts DC-link energy into one controlled three-phase motor output.
- Coordinates with the S120 control architecture through DRIVE-CLiQ.
- Uses optimized pulse patterns of the documented AA3 generation.
- Routes power-stage heat through the external cooling design.
- Supports safety functions engineered and validated in the complete drive project.
Applications
- Single-axis machinery using the corresponding S120 booksize power class.
- Maintenance of externally cooled drive cabinets with the matching module format.
- Production-line spare planning for a cancelled AA3 hardware generation.
- Motion systems that use coordinated DRIVE-CLiQ topology and diagnostics.
- Like-for-like service where the original motor and safety configuration is retained.
Lifecycle
- Siemens identifies this exact order number as a cancelled spare part.
- Do not use the nearby TE26 or TE31 class as a dimensional or power substitute.
- Preserve motor, encoder, topology and safety project data before service.
- Inspect the external fan path and cabinet interface while the drive is isolated.
- Validate electrical, thermal and safety behavior before production restart.
