Shanghai MOONS' Electric Co., Ltd. - 上海鸣志电器股份有限公司
Shanghai-listed global top-3 stepper motor maker whose motors and AGV drive wheels power robots and factory automation.
Shanghai MOONS' Electric Co., Ltd. (Chinese: Shanghai Mingzhi Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1994 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under ticker 603728 in 2017. The company is headquartered at Building 7, Lane 88, Minbei Road, Minhang District, Shanghai 201107, and can be reached at +86 (0)21 5263 4688 or [email protected]. MOONS' describes itself as a global top-3 stepper motor manufacturer shipping more than 10 million hybrid stepper motors per year, and reported 3,906 employees as of December 31, 2025, up 12.8 percent year over year. Beyond its Shanghai headquarters, the company states it has established subsidiaries in the United States, Italy, Singapore, Japan, and Germany, with additional branch offices across India, Vietnam, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom supporting sales in North America, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.
The company's product range spans hybrid stepper motors, slotless and coreless motors, brushless DC motors and drives, linear motion products, and motion controllers, alongside intelligent LED lighting drivers and a dedicated line of AGV (automated guided vehicle) drive products. A representative stepper motor, the 17HD1008, delivers 410 mNm of holding torque at 8 V DC with a 1.8-degree step angle, an 800 mA phase current rating, a 42.3 by 42.3 mm frame, and a 5 by 20 mm output shaft, and is rated to RoHS and REACH compliance. For mobile robotics, MOONS' AGV product family includes the MSD integrated driving wheel series, such as the MSD150-10-040-20GSL-N, which combines a 150 mm wheel with a 400 W motor, 1.91 Nm torque, and a 455 kg maximum radial load rating in a single motor-gearbox-wheel module, as well as AEQ planetary wheel gearboxes and MSH wheel-hub motors used to build AMR and AGV drive chassis.
MOONS' role in the robotics and automation supply chain is that of a motion-component supplier: its motors, drives, and integrated AGV wheel modules are incorporated by machine builders and mobile-robot manufacturers into factory-automation equipment, warehouse AGVs/AMRs, and other motorized systems rather than being sold as finished robots. Public financial disclosures confirm the company's exchange listing and employee count, but no certifications beyond the product-level RoHS/REACH marks, no named strategic partnerships, and no annual revenue figure specific to robotics applications were found in the sources reviewed.
