CLARE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CLARE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Clare Stepping Switches & Selectors
Electromechanical step selectors used in sequence control, timer circuits, and drum switch applications. Common failures include worn cams, contact arcing, and stepper motor burnout. Synchronics rebuilds Clare steppers and restores full functional accuracy.
Clare Solid State Relay Modules
SSR-based control modules for switching AC/DC loads without mechanical contact wear. Faults include triac failure, snubber circuit breakdown, and thermal runaway. We replace failed triacs, test isolation, and recalibrate gate drive circuits.
Clare Industrial Proximity & Inductive Sensors
Inductive and capacitive sensors for position sensing, level detection, and object counting. Common issues: oscillator drift, coil shorts, connector corrosion, and false triggering. Synchronics tests sensor oscillators and repairs connector issues.
Clare Control Panels & Circuit Breaker Units
Compact DIN-rail mounted control panels with integrated contactors, overload relays, and auxiliary logic modules. Failures stem from thermal cycling, contactor coil burns, and terminal corrosion. We refurbish panels, test all circuits, and upgrade obsolete components.
Clare Encoder & Feedback Sensor Assemblies
Rotary encoders and linear transducers for speed, position, and load feedback in machinery control. Issues include bearing wear, brush noise, and signal conditioning failures. Synchronics restores encoder linearity and recalibrates output ranges.
Why Choose Synchronics for CLARE Repairs?

Common CLARE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CLARE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Clare stepping switch cam followers sticking or slipping — Decades of thermal cycling and mechanical wear cause cam lobe wear and follower spring relaxation. Lubrication breakdown accelerates the problem, especially in hot textile mill or foundry environments common across Gujarat and Maharashtra.
- ✓Clare solid-state relay triac short-circuit or open-circuit — Voltage spikes from inductive loads (solenoids, motor coils) overwhelm triac gate, causing junction breakdown. Poor snubber design in older Clare SSR modules amplifies this. Indian mills running unfiltered motor starters are particularly vulnerable.
- ✓Clare inductive sensor oscillator drift or false triggering — Temperature rise in sensor coil shifts oscillator frequency; corrosion on ferrite core increases losses. In humid textile or chemical processing plants, connector oxidation adds signal noise, triggering false pulses.
- ✓Clare control panel contactor coil burnout and electrical noise — Sustained overload current, poor coil ventilation, or lack of back-EMF suppression across the coil. In Indian industrial settings with variable utility voltage, unfiltered supply spikes degrade coil insulation over 5-10 years.
- ✓Clare encoder bearing play or brush noise in rotary feedback — High-speed continuous operation in process control loops (paper mills, plastic extrusion) causes bearing preload loss and brush wear. Shaft runout increases electrical noise and counting errors.
- ✓Clare relay contact arcing and pitting in high-current switching — Mechanical relays switching inductive or motor loads without sufficient arc suppression (flywheel diodes, RC snubbers) cause rapid contact erosion. In Indian textile looms and dyeing vats, high ambient humidity accelerates corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions — CLARE Repairs
Do you repair Clare equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics specializes in Clare relay systems, solid-state controllers, sensors, and industrial control panels across India. We offer PAN India door-to-door pickup and return from all major cities — Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Surat, and beyond. All repairs happen at our 180-engineer facility in Vadodara, Gujarat. Turnaround is typically 5-10 working days depending on fault complexity.
Can you repair vintage Clare stepping switches and electromechanical relays?+
Absolutely. Clare's electromechanical stepping switches and relay logic modules from the 1970s–2000s are still in use across Indian textile mills and chemical plants. We have stock of obsolete cam assemblies, contact springs, and coils. Our engineers hand-rebuild steppers, test them on our mechanical test rig, and certify they meet original step count and timing. Many customers avoid costly PLC retrofits by opting for Clare stepper overhaul — it's faster and cheaper.
What is your turnaround time for Clare inductive sensor repair?+
Clare inductive sensors typically return in 3-5 working days. We recalibrate oscillator frequency, clean ferrite cores, test trigger thresholds, and replace connectors if corroded. If custom re-potting or coil rewinding is needed, allow 7-10 days. We test every sensor on our impedance analyzer and function generator to guarantee output stability across temperature range.
Do you carry spare parts for Clare control panel upgrades?+
Yes. Synchronics stocks contactors, overload relays, terminal blocks, connectors, and ferrous slug dampers compatible with Clare panel designs. We can upgrade older Clare panels with modern DIN-rail components while preserving the original control logic and interface. This extends panel life by 10+ years and often improves reliability. Contact our sales team for spare part pricing and compatibility cross-reference.
Can you repair Clare encoder signal conditioning failures in motion control loops?+
Yes. We repair Clare rotary encoders and linear transducers used in textile machinery, paper converting, and packaging lines. Common issues are bearing wear, brush noise, and output linearity drift. Synchronics replaces bearings and brushes, recalibrates the encoder on precision test jigs, and verifies linearity across the full range. We also repair signal conditioning boards and amplifiers that interface with Clare encoders to the main PLC or servo drive.
How do I send my CLARE unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a CLARE drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CLARE repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CLARE unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
