Discontinued Industrial Part Alternatives
When the OEM says "discontinued," you have three options: wait 40 weeks for a special build, redesign the system, or find a verified cross-reference. Equipta specializes in the third.
What we cross-reference
- ABB — M2AA → M3AA / M3BP / M4BP migrations; ACS legacy drives → ACS580/880 replacements
- Siemens — 1LA7 / 1LA9 → 1LE1 series; SIMOREG legacy → SINAMICS migration
- SEW — DR.71 / DR.80 legacy frames to current DRN series
- Schneider Electric — TeSys D legacy contactors → TeSys F / GV upgrades
- Stromag / INTORQ — discontinued brake series → equivalent torque + bore configurations
- Hohner / Sick encoders — discontinued resolution / output equivalents
How the cross-reference process works
- Send your part number — even partial works ("ABB M2AA 132M B5" or just a nameplate photo).
- We confirm specs. Original kW, voltage, frame, mounting, IE class, IP rating, ATEX zone (if any).
- We propose equivalents. Same brand new series, alternative European brand with drop-in fit, or rebuild kit if the system was custom.
- You receive EUR price + lead time for each option within 24 business hours.
- You confirm — Equipta ships DAP with full CE documentation.
Why this matters for procurement
Engineering teams typically don't track OEM lifecycle changes — until a critical spare fails and the system goes down. Equipta's sourcing engineers maintain cross-reference data on the brands we carry and can find drop-in replacements that pass IATF 16949 traceability requirements.
Send us the discontinued part
No registration, no NDA, no minimum order. Send the part number, photo of the nameplate, or even just the application context — our engineers will reply in 24 hours with one or more cross-reference candidates, each with EUR price and lead time.
