HERCULES Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full HERCULES product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Hercules Gearbox Control Modules
Integrated electronic controllers for Hercules helical and bevel gearbox units. Common faults include thermal sensor failures, slip ring brush wear, and gear ratio feedback sensor degradation in high-vibration environments.
Hercules Coupling & Torque Limiter Electronics
Flexible coupling systems with integrated slip detection and torque monitoring. Failures often occur due to encoder misalignment, relay chatter under shock loads, and humidity-induced connector corrosion in mill and cement plant environments.
Hercules Power Transmission Drive Boards
Multi-axis motor synchronisation boards for parallel shaft systems. Typical issues include capacitor bank failure in high-heat foundries, PWM circuit burnout from power surges, and communication protocol failures between master and slave drives.
Hercules Brake & Load Control Units
Safety-critical electronics for eddy current brakes and load-holding systems. Common repair needs involve solenoid coil winding insulation breakdown, spring-loaded micro-switch adhesion, and drift in analogue load cell signal conditioning circuits.
Hercules Feedback & Sensor Interface Boards
Signal conditioning and multi-sensor integration modules for gearbox diagnostics. Failures include ADC conversion errors, thermocouple cold-junction reference drift, and Hall sensor frequency doubling in high-speed spindle applications.
Hercules Legacy Analog Control Systems
Potentiometer-based and hardwired relay control systems from older Hercules transmission units. Repair involves pot tracking replacement, relay contact resurfacing, and rewiring of corroded terminal blocks in sugar mill and textile dyeing facilities.

Common HERCULES Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in HERCULES equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Gearbox output speed sensor failure — Hercules inductive or Hall-effect speed sensors mounted on high-vibration shafts become magnetised or corroded in humid Indian plant environments. Bearing run-out causes intermittent signal dropout and false ratio error codes.
- ✓Thermal runaway in power stage FETs — Hercules coupling and torque limiter boards use discrete MOSFET arrays without adequate thermal management in poorly ventilated control cabinets. Gate drive capacitor derating and low-quality duty cycle PWM cause junction temperature to exceed 150C.
- ✓Communication timeout between master and slave drive boards — Hercules multi-axis parallel-shaft systems rely on synchronous CAN or Modbus RTU links. Cable shield grounding at one end only, poor connector backshell contact, and excessive loop length cause bit errors and frame timeouts.
- ✓Brake solenoid coil open winding — High ambient temperatures (>50C) in steel mills and foundries, combined with repeated energisation spikes during emergency stops, degrade solenoid magnet wire insulation. Moisture ingress through unsealed connector boots accelerates breakdown.
- ✓Analogue load cell signal drift or saturation — Hercules load control boards use 0-10V analogue signal conditioning for real-time torque feedback. Drift occurs due to thermocouple cold-junction reference instability, potentiometer non-linearity, and thermal EMF in sensor wiring bundles in poorly shielded control cabinets.
- ✓Relay contact chatter and welding under shock load — Hercules legacy relay-based transmission controllers use 24V DC or 110V AC control relays rated for steady-state duty, not shock transients. High current inrush during motor start, belt slip, or sudden load reversal causes contact bounce, arcing, and temporary welding.

Frequently Asked Questions — HERCULES Repairs
Do you repair Hercules equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Hercules product range — gearbox controllers, coupling electronics, brake systems, and torque limiters. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all other major cities. All repairs are performed at our 15,000 sq ft facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with full diagnostic and load-test capability.
Can you repair Hercules gearbox boards that have burnt-out FETs or failed capacitors?+
Absolutely. Hercules coupling and power transmission boards frequently suffer thermal FET failure and electrolytic capacitor degradation in hot Indian plants. Synchronics replaces the entire power stage with matched component pairs, upgrades thermal management, and performs full-load 8-hour burn-in testing to verify reliability before dispatch. We also recommend cabinet ventilation audit to prevent recurrence.
What is the typical turnaround time for Hercules drive board repairs?+
Standard turnaround is 5-7 working days from receipt. Complex multi-board systems requiring firmware re-flashing or replacement of custom ASICs may take 10-14 days. We offer expedited 48-hour turnaround for critical sugar mill, steel mill, and cement plant equipment at premium rates. Priority repairs include diagnostic testing, component-level repair, functional validation, and courier return.
Do you stock Hercules replacement components like sensors, relays, and capacitors?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains inventory of common Hercules sensors (speed encoders, load cells, thermistors), electrolytic and film capacitors, MOSFETs, and solid-state relay modules. For obsolete or custom Hercules parts no longer manufactured, we reverse-engineer equivalent components from reputable suppliers like Vishay, Infineon, and TDK. Lead time for rare components is 3-5 working days.
Can you provide technical support for Hercules fault codes like E2, E4, E7 on legacy gearbox controllers?+
Yes. We maintain reference manuals and troubleshooting guides for all Hercules legacy control systems including the HLC series. Error codes like E2 (ratio mismatch), E4 (thermal shutdown), and E7 (brake solenoid fault) have specific repair pathways. Contact our technical helpline with your equipment serial number and fault code — we can advise you on root cause, whether repair or replacement is needed, and expected costs and timeline.
How do I send my HERCULES 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 HERCULES 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 HERCULES 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 HERCULES 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.
