CRA Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CRA product range. Below are the major product families we service.
CRA AC Motors and Geared Motors
Compact three-phase asynchronous motors ranging 0.12 kW to 22 kW with integrated gearbox options. Common failures include bearing wear, winding insulation breakdown, and shaft seal leakage in high-temperature textile and dairy processing environments.
CRA Servo Drive Systems
Closed-loop servo controllers with encoder feedback for precision positioning in packaging and labelling machinery. Repair issues include encoder signal loss, capacitor degradation, and firmware corruption affecting servo loop stability.
CRA Frequency Inverters and VFDs
Variable frequency drives for motor speed control in pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems. Typical faults: IGBT module failure, DC bus capacitor ripple, control board signal degradation, and thermal runaway under overload.
CRA Planetary Gearbox Units
High-ratio, compact reducers for low-speed high-torque applications in mixers and extruders. Common issues: internal gear tooth fatigue, bearing cage fracture, and lubrication starvation causing metal-to-metal contact.
CRA Electronic Control Modules (ECM)
Standalone logic controllers and I/O modules for CRA integrated automation systems. Failures include relay contact welding, analogue input circuit drift, and digital communication bus corruption.

Common CRA Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CRA equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓CRA Motor Bearing Failure and Excessive Vibration — CRA geared motors operate continuously in high-dust textile and grain processing environments where seal degradation allows contamination ingress. Combined with inadequate lubrication intervals and radial load misalignment, ball bearings experience accelerated spalling and cage wear.
- ✓CRA VFD IGBT Module Short-Circuit and Drive Shutdown — Thermal cycling in Indian summer conditions (ambient 45-50°C) combined with inadequate heatsink cooling causes IGBT junction temperature to exceed 150°C. Repeated thermal stress and switching transients trigger gate-oxide degradation and internal short circuits.
- ✓CRA Servo Drive Encoder Signal Loss and Position Error — CRA servo systems use 2500 PPR incremental encoders prone to vibration-induced connector loosening and cable insulation wear in high-speed packaging lines. EMI from nearby contactor banks corrupts differential encoder signals, causing watchdog timeout and emergency stop.
- ✓CRA Gearbox Internal Gear Tooth Fracture and Noise — CRA planetary reducers in mixing and extrusion duty experience tooth root fatigue when torque spikes exceed 1.5x rated due to process material jamming or incorrect input coupling alignment. Sun gear teeth progressively crack and shed metal particles.
- ✓CRA Control Module Relay Chatter and Logic Malfunction — CRA ECM relays designed for 230V AC experience contact bounce and welding when humidity exceeds 90% (monsoon season in coastal Indian plants) or when switching inductive loads without suppression diodes. Relay contacts fuse, preventing de-energisation.
- ✓CRA Motor Winding Insulation Failure and Phase-to-Ground Leakage — High ambient humidity (coastal plants), water ingress from washdown hoses, and thermal cycling in food processing facilities degrade polyimide winding insulation. Insulation resistance drops below 1 MΩ, causing gradual phase-to-earth leakage current and eventual winding short circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions — CRA Repairs
Do you repair CRA equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full CRA product range including AC motors, geared motors, servo drives, VFDs, and electronic control modules across all Indian states. We offer same-day PAN India courier pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, and smaller cities. All repairs are handled at our ISO-certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat within 5-7 working days.
What is the typical turnaround time for CRA motor and gearbox repairs?+
Standard turnaround is 5-7 working days including diagnostics, parts replacement, and full functional testing. For urgent breakdowns impacting production, we offer 24-48 hour emergency repair service for CRA motors and gearboxes. Courier shipping both ways is included in our repair quotation, with option for local pickup in Vadodara.
Do you stock genuine CRA spare parts and components?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains an inventory of genuine CRA spare parts including servo IGBT modules, encoder cables, relay assemblies, bearing sets, and gearbox components. For obsolete CRA models, we source equivalent components from SKF, Infineon, and other OEM-approved suppliers meeting original CRA performance ratings. All parts come with certification and warranty.
What are the common CRA encoder failure modes in Indian packaging plants?+
CRA servo encoders fail due to vibration-induced connector pin loosening, moisture ingress through damaged cable jackets, and EMI interference from unshielded power cables in high-speed labelling and wrapping machines. Synchronics tests encoder signal quality using oscilloscope, replaces connectors with gold-plated versions, and reseals all cable entries before returning to service.
Can Synchronics repair CRA drives damaged by power surges or phase loss?+
Yes. We repair CRA VFDs and servo drives damaged by lightning strikes, capacitor bank switching transients, and single-phasing conditions common during monsoon season. Our engineers perform component-level diagnosis using curve tracer testing, replace damaged IGBTs and electrolytic capacitors, and reprogram drive parameters to factory defaults. Power quality diagnostics and surge suppression recommendations are provided.
How do I send my CRA 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 CRA 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 CRA 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 CRA 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.
