However, within India, a looming trend of purchasing motors and trading them to the customers is rampant, leaving customers searching for manufacturers that can offer tailored components. This is where the Valsad-based Lunar Motors Pvt. Ltd. shines as a reliable problem-solver, manufacturing a wide spectrum of DC micro motors for distinct applications, based on the precise needs of its clientele.
Journey to Excellence
Established over four decades ago, Lunar Motors India is an ISO 9001:2015, RoHS and CE certified company accredited for a range of products including DC Motors, DC Gear Motors, Vending Motors and AC Shaded Pole Motors. The company stands out for a dynamic selection of products which are manufactured in-house, leveraging the expertise of seasoned professionals, and the firm’s exemplary manufacturing capabilities.
The company’s journey to its current position in the industry began in 1979, at a time when no other company in this niche existed in India. Identifying a significant gap in the market, the company’s foundation was laid, specializing at the time in parts such as motor body, rotor, cap, terminal contact, shaft, bush, and magnets. Despite lacking experience and the best of resources, the firm manufactured these parts in-house.
This lack of proper machinery and testing equipment planted the idea of reverse engineering the micro motors, leading to the development of several models of micro motors for the toy industry, and propelling the company into a new era of growth as it catered to the requirements of this industry for manufacturers based in Mumbai and Delhi.
However, the streak of innovation continued as the company indigenously developed a manual winding machine for 500 armatures/day for rotor winding.
These innovations were made during the first decade of business, and by the end of 1989, the company had already reached a production capacity of 2000 motors per day, capturing about 70 percent of the toy market by that time.
“Since inception, we at Lunar Motors have carved a niche in the DC Micro Motor industry for ourselves with a steadfast commitment to quality and innovation. Founded with a vision to meet the demand for high quality motors for toys, vending machines, medical equipment, ATM machines, etc., in India, we have grown exponentially, serving diverse sectors globally. From the outset, the firm has prioritized technological advancement and customer satisfaction and the company’s state-of-the-art facilities combined with innovative engineering ensure exceptional performance of our products which drives customer contentment”, shares Vasant Patel, MD.
Manufacturing Customized Motors
Driven by the purpose of manufacturing motors that enhance functionality of distinct machines, Lunar Motors adopts a careful and thorough manufacturing procedure and client engagement process. Since clients often lack the knowledge about how these motors are manufactured, they often insist on development of the products based on surface-level information. However, as experts in the niche, team Lunar insists on gaining comprehensive insight about the machine for which the motor is to be made.
After receiving the desired information, the team delves deep into researching all key points such as the wattage, the torque, kind of brush, and other intricacies, which the motor’s internal system needs to possess. Leveraging these deep insights, the company develops a customized motor, perfectly suited to enhance the functionality of the machine for which it has been designed.
“We believe that our customers are the foundation of our business, and as such, we take into high regard the importance of building mutual trusts for mutual benefits with the aim of establishing long-term business relationships. We are obsessed with developing the entire range of motors for diverse sectors, continually innovating and upgrading our products with latest technologies and following lean
manufacturing practices to develop the most effective solutions for our customers, delivering quality results that spell success for our clients”, further shares Vasant.
While designing motors, Lunar focuses not just on the functionality of the products, but also on their quality and cost-efficiency, which has enabled the firm to offer tremendous guarantees on its products, should the client run into any challenges. This commitment to quality and cost-effectiveness has put the firm in a favorable position for domestic as well as international clients spread across the UK, USA, Canada, Malaysia, and UAE, to name a few. Having supplied over two million pieces to toy manufacturers (local), and over three million pieces to vending machine manufacturers, the company enjoys a preferred partner status among those that demand high-performance and durable motors.
Infrastructural Edge
Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure completed with top-of-the-line machinery for rotor winding, balancing, commutator polishing, hot stacking, soldering, varistor soldering, rotor testing, motor testing, and more, the company efficiently fulfills the demands for quality, quantity, and consistency across diverse DC micro motors requirements. Along with this, the company also possesses progressive motor body making die and multi-cavity lamination cutting dies and tools for mass production, further ensuring economical manufacturing of motors.
“We stand out in the DC micro motor industry as we have honed our expertise in manufacturing high-quality, cost-effective motors tailored to diverse industry needs. Our advanced testing facilities offer comprehensive performance data, guaranteeing motors meet stringent industry standards from no-load to stall conditions. Moreover, we prioritize eco-friendly practices and energy-efficient designs, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable solutions”, further adds Vasant.
