Maul Mfg - YS Controls is a manufacturing company located in Orange County, California.  We provide electromechanical assembly and test services, CNC machining services, and solenoids and valves for military, aerospace, and industrial applications.

About YS Controls

YS Controls has supplied fluid, pneumatic, and mechanical control components to the Military/Aerospace industry since 1989.  Our coils, solenoids, and valves are typically built to military specifications and are for extreme environments, including internal pressures to 5000 psi and beyond.   We manufacture customer designs supporting customer product optimization using electromagnetic simulation and rapid in-house prototyping to deliver the highest force and lowest energy consumption in the smallest possible package. Applications include DoD production programs such as C-17, C-130, F-16, F-18, H-1, JDAM, M-1, V-22 and many more.

About Maul Mfg

Maul Mfg., Inc is a supplier of precision machined and finished hardware primarily for high technology aerospace and industrial applications such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, transducers, power plant turbines, weapons, solenoids, and motors since 1978. We specialize in intricate, tight tolerance (commonly < .001") and miniature part machining from Inconel, Titanium, Tungsten, Stainless, Aluminum, Brass and many more materials. We also manage subcontract processes such as plating, anodizing, painting, lapping, honing, and grinding. Past DoD production programs include Hellfire and Paveway.
