ERKATRON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ERKATRON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
ERKATRON Absolute Encoders (Multi-turn)
Absolute rotary encoders with continuous multi-turn position tracking, commonly used in crane hoist systems, elevator controls, and precision assembly equipment. Repair focus: battery failure in battery-backed models, SSI/CANopen protocol faults, and bearing stiction in harsh-duty versions.
ERKATRON Incremental Encoders
High-resolution incremental encoders for servo feedback, spindle speed monitoring, and conveyor belt tracking in Indian food processing and textile machinery. Common issues: commutator wear, phase shift between A/B channels, and connector intermittence from vibration.
ERKATRON Angle Measurement Systems
Precision angle sensors and tilt measurement units for turntable control, swivel joint monitoring, and orientation feedback in machine tools and assembly robots. Repair addresses: magnetic field drift, calibration offset errors, and IP67 seal degradation.
ERKATRON SSI and CANopen Interface Modules
Serial synchronous interface and CAN bus converter modules for legacy and modern PLC integration. Frequently repaired: firmware corruption, termination resistor failures, and CAN node ID conflicts in networked systems.
ERKATRON Heavy-Duty Encoders (IP67/IP69K)
Sealed encoders for cement mills, steel rolling mills, and blast furnace control systems exposed to coolant spray, thermal shock, and vibration. Common faults: connector corrosion despite sealing, bearing race spalling under cyclic shock loads, and signal dropout under EMI.
ERKATRON Wireless and Industry 4.0 Encoders
Bluetooth and wireless-enabled position sensors for predictive maintenance and IoT-integrated production systems. Repair scope: wireless module failure, battery degradation in remote sensors, and firmware update rollback issues.

Common ERKATRON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ERKATRON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓SSI Signal Dropout or Intermittent Frame Errors — ERKATRON absolute encoders with SSI interface fail when the output cable shielding degrades due to vibration or thermal cycling, or when the SSI receiver impedance in the PLC input module drifts. Connector pin corrosion is common in humid Indian industrial plants.
- ✓Multi-turn Encoder Battery Depletion or Backup Failure — ERKATRON multi-turn absolute encoders use internal lithium or supercapacitor backup to retain position during power loss. Battery aging, manufacturing defect, or prolonged shelf storage (>5 years) causes loss of absolute position memory, forcing manual re-zeroing after every power cycle.
- ✓Phase Shift Between Encoder Channels A and B (Incremental Mode) — Incremental ERKATRON encoders rely on precisely phased A and B quadrature pulses (90-degree offset). Wear of the optical commutator, contamination by metal dust in CNC spindles, or mechanical play in the bearing causes phase shift — confusing servo drive logic and causing hunting or stalling.
- ✓Connector Corrosion and Contact Resistance Rise — ERKATRON heavy-duty encoders used in cement, sugar, and steel plants are exposed to salt-laden humidity, coolant aerosol, and thermal cycling. Connector pins corrode despite IP67 rating, increasing contact resistance and causing signal attenuation or noise.
- ✓Bearing Race Spalling and Mechanical Friction Increase — ERKATRON shaft-mounted encoders in heavy-duty applications (cement mill ball mill drives, steel rolling mill arm actuators) experience radial and thrust loads. Inadequate lubrication, thermal stress, or contamination causes bearing inner race spalling, increasing friction and signal jitter.
- ✓CANopen Node ID Conflict or Network Arbitration Failure — ERKATRON CANopen encoder modules with configurable node IDs sometimes retain incorrect IDs after firmware updates or when multiple encoders are added to an existing CAN network. ID collision prevents the encoder from communicating and causes the node to be dropped from the network.

Frequently Asked Questions — ERKATRON Repairs
Do you repair ERKATRON encoders anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete ERKATRON encoder and sensor product range — absolute, incremental, SSI, CANopen, and wireless models. We offer PAN India doorstep collection from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and all tier-2 industrial cities. All repairs are performed at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with 48-72 hour turnaround for standard faults.
What is the typical repair cost for an ERKATRON absolute encoder?+
ERKATRON absolute encoder repair typically costs 40-60% of OEM replacement cost depending on fault severity. Battery replacement alone is INR 2,500-5,000. Signal conditioning module repair ranges INR 4,000-8,000. Full bearing and connector replacement runs INR 6,000-12,000. Synchronics provides upfront quotation after fault diagnosis — no hidden charges. We also stock common replacement parts including bearing cartridges, cables, and connectors for rapid turnaround.
Can you recalibrate ERKATRON encoders to factory accuracy after repair?+
Yes. Synchronics has certified calibration equipment for ERKATRON absolute and incremental encoders. We perform full-range linearity calibration, verify resolution accuracy, and test phase angle at multiple speeds. Calibration is performed to ERKATRON OEM specifications and documented with certificates traceable to national standards. Typical calibration adds 1-2 days and costs INR 2,000-4,000 depending on encoder type.
What is your warranty on ERKATRON encoder repairs?+
Synchronics provides 12-month parts and labor warranty on all ERKATRON repairs. If the same fault recurs within warranty, we repair or replace the encoder at no cost. Warranty covers components we replaced — bearings, batteries, connectors, and firmware. Warranty excludes mechanical damage from external shock or overload.
Do you repair ERKATRON wireless IoT encoders and Bluetooth modules?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs ERKATRON wireless encoder modules including BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), WiFi, and 5G-ready variants. Common repairs include wireless module firmware updates, battery replacement, and RF antenna re-soldering. We use ERKATRON diagnostic software to verify wireless connectivity and IoT protocol compliance. However, we cannot recover data from failed wireless modules — only restore mechanical encoder function and wireless hardware.
How do I send my ERKATRON 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 ERKATRON 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 ERKATRON 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 ERKATRON 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.
