Aerospace Innovation & Success
Aerospace is a mission critical industry requiring products that never fail. Whether it is making sure that passengers feel safe, or ensuring planes can ascend and descend successfully, our AS9100 certified products serve this industry with excellence.
We manufacture our aerospace products to the highest standards, as there is no room for error. We proudly domestically manufacture mission critical components that aerospace companies can consistently rely on.
Below you can see our product lines catering to the industry and some of the applications of our products in the aerospace sector.
Product Lines
We manufacture and stock aircraft cable to commercial and military specifications in stainless steel, galvanized carbon steel, and many other alloys. Our aircraft cable supports flight control, landing gear and emergency systems.
Bushings and bearings help limit friction, and we can also manufacture the exact screw, nut or bolt needed to keep structural components together, and maximize the function of all the technology within an aircraft.
Custom cable assemblies crafted with precision and expertise. Our aircraft, military, and commercial cable assemblies are all highly customizable, and are durable enough to withstand demanding applications.
Custom CNC manufacturing can use many different alloys including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper and nickel. Custom parts are tested in-house to ensure quality, and precise machining produces the perfect product every time.
Custom cable assemblies crafted with precision and expertise. Our aircraft, military, and commercial cable assemblies are all highly customizable, and are durable enough to withstand demanding applications.
Pulleys and sheaves are manufactured for increased safety, durability and performance. Can be effectively used in various applications with varying weight loads and cable types.

Product applications throughout the aerospace industry include:
Product Applications
Flight Control
Rudders, ailerons, elevators and more components that dictate a plane’s direction are controlled from the cockpit by cable assemblies. Throttle controls use cable assemblies as well, relying on quality cables for consistent and smooth acceleration. Mid-air alterations that keep flights on track, and make pilot’s jobs easier, are powered by aircraft cable.
Emergency Systems
Bar stock products are both highly customizable, and highly reliable, being manufactured from AS9100 certified metals. Whether it’s the little fasteners that keep the plane together, or the more complex engine parts that ensure take-off, descension and everything in between is done efficiently, you can trust CWI bar stock.
Fasteners & Engine
Copper wire is employed in heat transfer applications, like thermal straps and thermal conductivity enhancers. Its high thermal conductivity allows for efficient heat transfer and dissipation and contributes to safe and comfortable thermal management in aerospace systems.
