IGK Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full IGK product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Spring-Applied Brakes (IGTK Series)
Fail-safe electromagnetic brakes for emergency stopping and load holding. Common issues include coil burnout, mechanical wear in friction surfaces, and control relay failures that prevent proper brake engagement or release.
Hysteresis Clutches (IGH Series)
Precision torque-limiting clutches for smooth power transmission without mechanical slip. Typical faults involve demagnetization of the rotor, excessive eddy current heating, and control electronics degradation affecting torque calibration.
Safety Brake Control Units (IGKC Series)
Integrated control modules for monitoring and operating spring-applied brakes. Repair issues include relay chatter, coil short circuits, thermal overload tripping, and loss of brake position feedback sensors.
Eddy Current Brakes (IGE Series)
Non-contact electromagnetic braking for high-speed applications. Common failures involve cooling system blockage, magnet deterioration, rotor imbalance, and control board PCB corrosion in humid Indian factory environments.
Load Holding Solenoids (IGS Series)
Compact electromagnetic holding devices for vertical load suspension and positioning. Typical defects include armature stiction, spring fatigue causing incomplete release, and coil winding faults after prolonged duty cycles.

Common IGK Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in IGK equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Coil burnout in spring-applied brake — Continuous energization without proper cooling, thermal overload relay malfunction, or prolonged holding current in high-ambient Indian factory conditions (40-50 degree Celsius). IGK brakes are designed for intermittent duty; sustained coil heating causes insulation breakdown.
- ✓Brake engagement delay or full non-engagement — Mechanical wear in the friction disc stack, spring tension loss in the spring-applied mechanism, or solenoid plunger stiction preventing full retraction of the brake shoes. Common after 3-5 years in continuous production environments.
- ✓Loss of brake position feedback or fault indication — Inductive or capacitive position sensor malfunction, loose sensor wiring, corroded connector terminals, or sensor gap drift due to mechanical wear. Common in IGK IGKC control units after humidity exposure in coastal Indian facilities.
- ✓Hysteresis clutch loss of torque control or slip — Rotor magnet demagnetization due to thermal cycling (common in Indian plants during monsoon temperature swings), rotor/stator eccentricity from bearing wear, or eddy current path blockage by contamination. IGH clutches rely on precise magnetic circuits.
- ✓Control relay chatter or intermittent brake release — Worn relay contacts in the IGKC unit, insufficient contact pressure, voltage ripple from inadequate DC supply filtering, or AC noise coupling into the low-voltage control circuit in plants with high-frequency welding or induction heating nearby.
- ✓Solenoid armature stiction or incomplete release — Rust formation on armature or pole faces in humid environments, lubricant drying or gumming inside the solenoid guide, or plunger spring fatigue reducing return force. IGS holding solenoids are exposed to atmospheric moisture in many Indian factories.

Frequently Asked Questions — IGK Repairs
Do you repair IGK electromagnetic brakes and clutches anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full IGK product range across all of India. We offer PAN-India pickup and delivery from Vadodara, Gujarat. Customers in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, and tier-2 cities benefit from our logistics network. Typical turnaround is 7-10 days depending on component complexity.
What is the difference between IGK spring-applied brakes and eddy current brakes, and which does Synchronics repair?+
IGK spring-applied brakes (IGTK) are fail-safe mechanical devices energized to release; they hold load when power is off. Eddy current brakes (IGE) are non-contact magnetic brakes for smooth deceleration. Synchronics repairs both types. Spring-applied brakes are common in lifting and material handling; eddy current brakes suit high-speed winding and printing applications. Both require specialized expertise which Synchronics engineers possess.
Why is my IGK brake slipping or not holding load reliably?+
Slippage in IGK spring-applied brakes usually indicates friction disc wear (causing reduced holding torque) or solenoid plunger stiction (preventing full brake shoe engagement). Sometimes spring tension loss reduces clamping force. Synchronics performs mechanical teardown, friction coefficient testing, and load-holding verification. We restore the brake to OEM holding torque specification and issue a test report. This is critical for safety-critical applications in Indian plants.
Can Synchronics repair IGK control units or only the brake and clutch components themselves?+
We repair both. IGK IGKC control units contain relays, power transistors, solenoid drivers, and position monitoring circuits. Synchronics repairs PCB faults, relay replacements, capacitor aging issues, and connector corrosion—common in humid coastal and monsoon-affected Indian factories. We also test integrated brake control logic to ensure safe operation after repair.
How do I know if my IGK brake coil is burned out versus just overheated?+
A burned coil shows visible charring, insulation blistering, or open-circuit resistance (megohm range). Overheating simply triggers thermal cutoff without damage if cooled. Synchronics tests insulation resistance with a 500V megohmmeter; if under 1 megohm to ground, the coil is failed. We advise rewinding if the coil body is undamaged, or full replacement if carbonized. This diagnosis prevents unnecessary downtime.
How do I send my IGK 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 IGK 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 IGK 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 IGK 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.
