Application & Industries

Since the first production jet engines rolled off the line at GE’s Lynn, Massachusetts plant in 1942, Jarvis has played an integral role in the aerospace industry. Today, Jarvis continues to service aerospace fastener producers around the globe including North America, South America, Europe, and Mexico. Jarvis produces application specific taps for a multitude of aerospace fasteners and tough to tap super alloys. Here is a sample of what Jarvis is currently providing to the aerospace fastener community:

In 1947, Albert H. Tinnerman hoisted a 3300 pound Plymouth off the ground supported solely by one Tinnerman Speed Nut. This daring task was to prove to the auto makers of the time that threaded fasteners were just as robust as welding or riveting for holding fenders and body panels to an automobile frame. Ford was one of the first auto manufacturers to utilize these new fasteners using them in nearly 400 different applications. Two years after Tinnerman’s bold demonstration, Jarvis began manufacturing the taps Tinnerman required to produce the Speed Nut. This long tradition of working closely with world-class fastener producers continues today. Jarvis designs and manufactures application specific taps for all methods of fastener production including bent shanks for high speed nut tappers, secondary tapping on vertical & inclined tappers, in-die tapping units, and screw machine applications.

In February of 1910, Benjamin Holt opened a factory in East Peoria, Illinois incorporating as the Holt Caterpillar Company. As track type tractors were being delivered from Holt’s factory, Jarvis was manufacturing the tooling used to produce the frames, engines and components required by the heavy equipment and mining industries. Today, Jarvis produces high performance application specific taps to meet the tough requirements of heavy equipment manufacturing. Whether it is extended length, larger or small diameter, coolant fed, roll form or cutting, Jarvis can design and manufacture any tap configuration to meet your needs.

In 1948, The Ford Motor Company introduced the F-Series with the F-1 through F-6 light and heavy duty trucks. Depending on the series, Ford offered four different engine options ranging from a 95hp Straight-6 to a 145hp Flathead V-8. A year after Ford launched the F-Series truck, Jarvis began operations producing the taps used by the engine manufacturers of the time. The high output, efficient gas and diesel engines of today require close tolerance manufacturing of light weight, high strength materials. Jarvis works closely with engine manufactures around the world designing and producing application specific taps used in high volume transfer lines and CNC milling centers.

In 1916, William C. Durant, founder of General Motors, formed United Motors Corporations as a manufacturer of automotive components and accessories. In 1944, United Motor Service became a fully integrated division of GM later to be known as AC-Delco. Five years later, Jarvis launched operations producing high speed steel tap supplying tools to the metal cutting industry including automotive component manufacturers. Jarvis understands the fast moving world of automotive and truck component manufacturing and the need for innovative tap designs that maximize tool life and provide superior thread finish. Jarvis engineers application specific roll form and cut taps to exceed the demanding requirements of automotive and truck component manufactures throughout North America, Mexico, Europe, and South East Asia.

In the late 1940’s, Harvey Hubble Incorporated and Leviton Manufacturing Company were positioned to serve the expanding market for electrical devices as World War II came to an end and new home construction escalated. Jarvis was there to support the effort manufacturing the taps required to mass produce terminal stampings and electrical fittings used for residential and commercial installations. Today, Jarvis is still the leading supplier of application specific roll form and cut taps to the largest producers of electrical components and devices in North America and Mexico.

In 1954, Wix Filters patented the first spin-on oil filter making the task of changing oil filters convenient and cleaner. Since then, Jarvis has been providing cutting and roll form taps to filter manufacturers in North and South America, Europe, South East Asia, and Mexico. Today, Jarvis is the industry leader in roll form tapping of spin-on oil filter nut plates proving to be the most cost effective solution. Jarvis also produces cut taps for the spin-on filter industry designed to eliminate burrs and provide a superior thread finish. Jarvis threaded holes can be found in oil filters for automotive and heavy duty engines including agriculture, mining, and over-the-road trucks. Jarvis also produces taps used to manufacture hydraulic filters and aerospace oil filters as well.

In 1949, Mueller Water Products patented the tamper-proof gas valve which included several tapered pipe threaded holes as part of the design. That same year, Jarvis began producing pipe taps manufactured to the National Pipe Thread specifications developed by the American Standards Association thirty years earlier. Jarvis continues to be the leader in the pipe tap industry manufacturing application specific cutting and roll forming taps to meet all pipe thread standards including National and British Whitworth.
