Shaft components are among the key elements that determine the performance and durability of motors. Because motors used in automobiles, motorcycles, and home appliances operate at high rotational speeds, the shaft’s surface roughness and roundness have a direct impact on overall product performance. However, achieving such high precision while maintaining low costs in mass production remains a significant challenge.

To address these challenges, Nano Seimitsu supplies motor shaft components manufactured by its group company, Fortune Cross. Fortune Cross specializes in precision polishing for high-volume production and delivers a stable supply of shaft components—primarily for automotive applications—with a monthly production capacity exceeding 15 million units.

Shaft components manufactured by Fortune Cross are used in the following types of motor applications, including:
• Automotive Motors (e.g., power window motors)
• Motorcycle Motors
• Air Conditioning Motors
• Home Appliance Motors
• Small Precision Motors

Fortune Cross operates a production system centered on precision polishing. This allows the company to consistently deliver the level of quality required for these applications.

Shaft Manufacturing Specialized in Precision Grinding

In shaft component machining, many manufacturers rely primarily on cutting processes such as turning. However, relatively few companies are capable of supporting high-volume production that incorporates precision grinding processes. Fortune Cross has built a production system centered on polishing technologies. The factory is equipped with the following polishing facilities:


【Equipment Overview】
• Centerless Polishing Machines: Approximately 50 units
• Cylindrical Grinding Machines: Approximately 10 units
• 100% Dimensional-Inspection Systems
・• In-Process Trend Management System (LINE QC SPECIALIST）

With this equipment configuration, the entire factory operates production lines centered on polishing processes, enabling the mass production of high-precision shafts.

Mass Production Capability Supporting 15 Million Shafts per Month

Fortune Cross’s greatest strength lies in its mass-production capability for shaft components.

【Production Capacity】
• Monthly Output: Over 15 million shafts
• Size Range: From less than Ø1 mm to approximately 1 meter, supporting both micro shafts and long shafts
• Lot Size:
o Small Components: 100,000 – 1,000,000 pieces per lot
o Large Components: Approximately 5–10 million per month

Although the factory is primarily designed as a high-volume mass production facility, consultation for smaller production volumes is also available depending on project requirements.

Although the unit price of these shafts is extremely low—around 10 yen per piece—maintaining a stable supply requires a well-balanced combination of equipment capacity, skilled personnel, and robust quality control systems. In mass-production projects that often reach several million pieces per month, the ability to sustain continuous supply itself becomes a key competitive advantage.

Capability to Handle Both Small-Diameter and Long Shaft Components

Fortune Cross supports the machining of shaft components across a wide range of size. In particular, long shafts tend to bend during machining, making straightening operations and precision control more complex. Because of these challenges, many machining companies tend to avoid this type of production. However, Fortune Cross is capable of handling long-shaft machining and has been receiving an increasing number of high-difficulty mass-production projects, including cases where shaft production is being transferred from China to Thailand
