GERRARD Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GERRARD product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Gerrard Solid-State Relay (SSR) Series
Industrial-grade solid-state switching devices for motor control, heater management, and load switching. Common issues include thermal degradation, gate drive failures, and zero-crossing detection faults in high-vibration environments.
Gerrard Timer and Sequence Controller Range
Analog and digital timing modules for process automation, dwell control, and sequential operation. Repair needs centre on capacitor degradation, relay contact erosion, and timing circuit drift affecting manufacturing cycle precision.
Gerrard Logic Control Modules
Programmable relay logic units and hardwired logic controllers for textile machinery, printing presses, and packaging lines. Failures typically involve contact bounce compensation circuits, internal relay coil burnout, and connector oxidation.
Gerrard Power Distribution and Protection Units
Industrial-rated switchgear and protection relay systems for machine tool circuits and process automation. Common faults include thermal overload calibration drift, contactor coil intermittency, and arc suppression capacitor aging.
Gerrard Thermal Management and Cooling Systems
Specialized cooling modules for industrial enclosures and control cabinets in high-ambient environments. Repair focuses on thermostat calibration, fan motor bearing wear, and condensation sensor circuit failures.

Common GERRARD Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GERRARD equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Solid-state relay gate drive failure — Gerrard SSR units operating in textile mills with high electrical noise suffer gate drive optocoupler degradation. Thermal cycling and contamination accelerate optocoupler junction breakdown, preventing proper switching.
- ✓Timer module capacitor leakage and drift — Electrolytic capacitors in Gerrard GST series timing circuits dry out under sustained heat in unventilated control cabinets common in Indian spindle mills. This causes timing intervals to drift 10-20% from specification.
- ✓Relay contact erosion and chatter — High-frequency switching cycles in Gerrard GLM controllers, combined with switching inductive loads without proper arc suppression, cause contact surface erosion and material migration. Contacts develop carbon deposits and reduced pressure.
- ✓Connector corrosion and intermittent connections — Gerrard equipment installed in humid textile dye houses and coastal manufacturing zones experiences accelerated corrosion of female socket contacts. Salt spray and moisture ingress cause green oxidation and increased contact resistance.
- ✓Overload relay calibration drift — Bimetallic strip compensation in Gerrard protection relay units loses calibration after years of thermal cycling. Drift causes nuisance trips or delayed trips, compromising machinery protection in Indian process plants.
- ✓Logic module internal relay coil burnout — Sustained high inrush currents or failed suppression diodes in Gerrard GLM logic modules cause coil insulation breakdown. This is common in textile looms and printing press controller circuits subject to repeated load transients.

Frequently Asked Questions — GERRARD Repairs
Do you repair Gerrard equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Gerrard product range including solid-state relays, timer modules, logic controllers, and protection units. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Jaipur, and all other industrial cities. All repair work is completed in our state-of-the-art facility in Vadodara, Gujarat.
How do you handle Gerrard relay contact replacement and re-certification?+
Synchronics maintains stocks of high-quality replacement contacts compatible with Gerrard relay frames. After replacement, we test actuation current, contact resistance, and thermal compensation using calibrated instruments. Full re-certification documentation is provided for quality assurance and compliance with Indian manufacturing standards.
Can you repair Gerrard timer circuits with degraded capacitors?+
Absolutely. We identify capacitor leakage and ESR degradation using precision test equipment, remove failed capacitors, and install industrial-grade replacements rated for expanded temperature ranges. After component replacement, we recalibrate timing intervals to original factory specifications and provide full test reports.
What is the typical turnaround time for Gerrard control system repairs?+
Most Gerrard repairs are completed within 5-7 working days including diagnostics, component sourcing, repair work, and full functional testing. Express turnaround is available for critical textile mill and printing plant shutdowns. We coordinate door pickup and delivery across India to minimize your downtime.
Do you source genuine Gerrard replacement parts or equivalents?+
Synchronics uses high-grade industrial-equivalent components where original Gerrard parts are obsolete or unavailable. All replacement components meet or exceed original specifications and are thoroughly tested in actual Gerrard circuit environments. We document all component substitutions with technical justification for customer records.
How do I send my GERRARD 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 GERRARD 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 GERRARD 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 GERRARD 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.
