Jonathan Engineered Solutions

Jonathan Engineered Solutions, or JES, makes precision ball-bearing slides, brackets, trays and cable management systems in the United States. It also makes sheet metal parts and assemblies, plastic parts, fasteners and precision machined parts. The company is certified to ISO 9001 and AS9100. It describes its work as North American made.

JES slides come in aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel. Aluminum slides come in light, medium and heavy duty grades. Steel slides come in the same three grades, with solid bearing, ball bearing and roller bearing types. The range also includes friction slides, hybrid slides and overtravel slides that give wider access to a payload in a small space. Stainless steel slides add strength with more heat and corrosion resistance. Friction slides have no ball bearing buildup, which suits field use.

Other lines include trays and shelves, slide mounting brackets, door stops and soft-close parts. Cable management covers cable retractors, lacing bars and systems for rack-mounted electronics. Fixed mounting options, called TFB and TIG, secure chassis that do not need to travel. New HD series slides support naval rack-mounted electronics. A slide selection guide helps buyers pick the right profile.

JES serves three markets. Defense customers get slide rails, trays, shelves, cable management and kits for rack-mounted electronics. Industrial and technology customers can buy standard products, build-to-print parts or fully custom builds. In aerospace, JES offers lightweight aluminum slides for aircraft interiors. These suit commercial aircraft, business jets and general aviation. The company also has seating solutions for commercial and business aircraft.

Services include application and design engineering, new product development, rapid prototyping and performance testing. JES also offers custom manufacturing, flexible production and integrated assembly. Its global operations cover logistics sourcing and supply chain management. The company presents itself as a single-source supplier. Customers can request a quote, find a local sales representative, download tech sheets or meet the company at trade events.
