Bring a print, a sketch, a sample or the problem you’re solving. Our in-house processes cover the steps from component to finished assembly.
One of our deepest stocked families: male, female, inch, metric, studded, with race and material options across stainless, plated steel, chrome moly and aluminum. Most competitive when supplied with the linkage rod, tube, cable, spacers or boots in an OEM build.
Explore rod ends
Clevises, yoke ends and pins anchor most linkage and actuation designs, and we carry deep inventory across sizes and configurations. Forged in-house and sourced where competitive, they’re a stronger value paired with rods, tubes, cables or an assembly program.
Explore clevises & yokes
Linkages connect rod ends, clevises, yokes, tubing, bar, cable and fabricated features into motion-control solutions built around the application. Work from a print, sample, sketch or just the problem, and we’ll quote the right combination.
Explore linkages
True push-pull cable assemblies (not brake cables), typically threaded on one or both ends with standard inch or metric hardware. We help OEMs match cable length, ends, travel and mounting to the application.
Explore cable styles
Brackets, mounts, guards and formed components that need more than a catalog part number. Laser cutting, bending, welding, machining and powder coating in-house: one accountable source from print or sample through delivery.
Start a fabricated part
Structural and motion-control parts that need cutting, bending, forming, swaging, welding, machining, threaded ends or a finished coating, kept close together so tube-based components move from design intent to repeatable production.
Explore tube options
Where our manufacturing mix pays off: plate, tube, bar, welding, forming, machining, swaging and finishing combined around the print, a practical route for parts standard suppliers avoid or struggle to price.
Start a complex fabrication
Adds material or formed ends to bar and tube where you’d otherwise weld or add machining. We use it to reduce waste, simplify designs and create durable per-print components for OEM applications.
Explore upset forging
A practical path from prototype to production-grade plastic parts without hard tooling, in engineering materials like nylon, TPU, ASA and PETG, for complex geometry, fixtures, short runs and customer-specific parts.
Start a printed part
Durable color finishing kept inside the same manufacturing flow. We quote finish with the part when possible, so purchasing gets one supplier, one schedule and fewer surprises between fabrication and shipment.
Plan your part & finish
Fabricated parts, linkage hardware, tubing, bearings, bushings, fasteners, finishes and kitting brought together into one finished unit, useful when a project needs many operations under one roof and fewer handoffs.

Every configurator speaks the shop's language (stock sizes, bend radii, threads, finishes), so what you design is something we can actually build.
Upload what you already have. DXF plate outlines are parsed right in the workspace.
Pick stock, set length and bends, add end fittings, bungs and swaging.
Laser-cut outlines with bends and holes, finished in the same flow.
Thread, travel, length and ends, with linkage hardware from the catalog.
Round, hex or flat stock: threaded, bent and cut to length with rod ends attached.
FDM and SLS in engineering materials, from prototype to short production run.
Bent stock, formed plates and catalog hardware, brought together in one assembly.
Design Online Live. Prices Generated Automatically During Design Process.
No more back-and-forth emails to find out whether a part can be made. Build the whole bill of material, then send it once.
Upload a drawing, open a configurator, or search the catalog by part number, thread or OEM cross-reference.
Drag custom and catalog parts into one bill of material. Group them into assemblies and preview them in 3D.
Choose your quantity breaks up front so the quote comes back priced at every volume you care about.
One request covers the whole project. Our team reviews it and replies, and it stays in your quote history.
Guest work lives in one browser. An account keeps everything in one place, on any device, for your whole team.
We're Midwest Control Products, and we're opening our configurators through the Model Context Protocol. Your AI assistant or procurement agent will be able to find parts, configure custom ones and request quotes the same way you do in the workspace.
