IAN JOHNSTON Equipment We Repair — By Category
IAN JOHNSTON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full IAN JOHNSTON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Stepper Motor Drivers
Dedicated stepper drive controllers for NEMA and IEC frame motors. Common failures include transistor bridge shorts, step pulse input circuit failures, and enable/direction signal loss. Used extensively in Indian textile and converting machinery.
AC/DC Servo Drive Modules
Precision servo amplifiers for brush and brushless DC motors. Typical repair issues include commutation sensor failures, current feedback module degradation, and thermal protection circuit faults.
Motion Control Processors
Intelligent motion command and interpolation modules for multi-axis systems. Common faults include program memory corruption, encoder input loss, and quadrature decoder circuit failures in harsh plant environments.
Power Supply Modules
Regulated DC power supplies and charging modules for servo and stepper circuits. Prone to capacitor degradation in high-temperature Indian factory conditions and input rectifier failures.
Resolver and Encoder Interfaces
Signal conditioning cards for absolute and incremental position feedback. Failures include resolver excitation losses, preamp saturation, and EMI-induced offset errors in electrically noisy Indian mills.

Common IAN JOHNSTON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in IAN JOHNSTON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Stepper drive output transistor bridge failure — Over-current from stalled motor or short circuit in phase winding causes gate drive failure and catastrophic shoot-through in Ian Johnston stepper modules. Common in textile machines with mechanical jams.
- ✓Servo encoder quadrature signal loss or inversion — EMI ingress from adjacent motor contactors or PLC cabinets corrupts the differential encoder signals in Ian Johnston servo loops. Indian factory installations often lack proper shielding in cable runs.
- ✓Power supply capacitor dry-out and voltage regulation collapse — Indian ambient temperatures (35-45°C in summer) accelerate electrolytic capacitor aging in Ian Johnston power modules. Decades-old installations show recurring failures as capacitors reach end-of-life.
- ✓Resolver excitation oscillator shutdown and loss of commutation — Resolver preamp saturation from over-signal or oscillator component degradation causes Ian Johnston servo drives to lose commutation reference. Seen in high-vibration textile and packaging environments.
- ✓Step pulse input circuit failure or noise immunity collapse — Inadequate opto-isolation or pull-up resistor drift in Ian Johnston stepper drivers leads to false step triggers or missed pulses. Poor cable screening in Indian PLC-to-drive connections is a common root cause.
- ✓Current feedback amplifier offset drift and motor overheating — Temperature-dependent offset in the current sense preamp of Ian Johnston servo drives causes steady-state current imbalance. High-duty-cycle machines in Indian summers experience thermal runaway.

Frequently Asked Questions — IAN JOHNSTON Repairs
Do you repair Ian Johnston equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Ian Johnston product range - stepper drivers, servo amplifiers, motion processors, power supplies, and resolver interfaces. We offer pan-India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, and all other major cities. All repairs are completed at our facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with same-day despatch for urgent repairs.
What is the typical turnaround time for Ian Johnston servo drive repair?+
Standard turnaround is 5-7 working days from receipt at Synchronics Vadodara. We offer 48-hour express repair and same-day diagnostic assessment for critical production failures. Emergency repairs of stepper drivers and power modules can often be completed within 24 hours. Turnaround depends on component availability and circuit complexity - we provide a firm estimate after inspection.
Can you repair Ian Johnston stepper drivers with burnt output transistors?+
Yes. Synchronics specialises in restoring burned-out Ian Johnston stepper motor drivers. We replace failed output stage transistors, test gate drive circuits, re-calibrate current sense thresholds, and perform full functional testing on calibrated motor loads. We also diagnose the root cause - whether mechanical jam, cable short, or internal winding fault - to prevent recurrence.
Do you stock genuine Ian Johnston replacement parts or use third-party components?+
Synchronics uses industrial-grade equivalent components that meet or exceed original Ian Johnston specifications. For stepper transistors, servo power transistors, and filter capacitors, we source from established manufacturers with full reliability certifications. All replaced components are tested under load before the drive is returned. For long-obsolete Ian Johnston boards, we may need to engineer component substitutes - we discuss options with you upfront.
How do I know if my Ian Johnston drive has failed or if the problem is in my motor or cables?+
Synchronics offers free diagnostic testing. We can bench-test your Ian Johnston drive with a calibrated resistive load to check output stage function, measure voltage rails, test input signal conditioning, and verify commutation or step pulse response. This typically takes 2-3 hours and helps isolate whether the fault is in the drive, motor, or interconnecting cables. Diagnostic report is provided with repair quote.
How do I send my IAN JOHNSTON 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 IAN JOHNSTON 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 IAN JOHNSTON 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 IAN JOHNSTON 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.
