Spring & Wire Products

Rex Consolidated’s compression springs are engineered to resist axial compressive forces and return to their original height after load release. Designed as open-coil helical springs, they are the most common configuration used across automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors to provide push-back force. We manufacture these in various shapes, including cylindrical, conical, and barrel, using high-durability materials like high-carbon and stainless steel. Whether for engine controls or heavy machinery, our compression springs ensure consistent performance and energy absorption under demanding conditions.

Our precision wire forms are custom-engineered components that go beyond standard helical shapes to meet specific mechanical and structural requirements. Utilizing advanced CNC technology, Rex Consolidated manipulates high-quality wire into complex configurations for use in electrical contacts, interior automotive systems, and consumer appliances. These versatile components are designed for high-volume production with tight tolerances, ensuring they serve as reliable links, clips, or supports in intricate assemblies. We work closely with OEMs to develop prototypes that balance material strength with design flexibility.

Rex Consolidated extension springs, also known as tension springs, are designed to create resistance against pulling forces by attempting to bring components back together. Each spring is tightly wound and typically features hooks, loops, or specialized end-interfaces to securely attach to mating parts. These are essential for return-force mechanisms in vehicle carburetors, garage doors, and agricultural machinery where reliable tension is critical. Our manufacturing process ensures that the initial tension and end-loop strength are optimized for longevity and consistent performance in the field.

Our torsion springs are built to offer resistance to twisting or applied torque, storing and releasing angular energy as they rotate around their center. Rex Consolidated optimizes these designs to maintain maximum rotational pressure between surfaces, making them ideal for hinges, lever returns, and counter-balancing systems. Commonly found in automotive seat adjusters, door handles, and complex industrial equipment, our torsion springs are manufactured to endure high stress and repetitive motion. We focus on precise leg configurations and maximum deflection limits to guarantee a long, dependable lifecycle.

Rex Consolidated specializes in the production of small and micro-springs designed for precision-sensitive applications in medical devices, electronics, and instrumentation. These compact components require meticulous engineering to ensure that even the smallest diameters provide the necessary force without compromising structural integrity. From micro-compression springs in syringes to small torsion springs in hospital equipment, we utilize high-carbon and stainless steel to achieve wear resistance. Our small-batch and large-scale capabilities ensure that your delicate mechanical systems operate with total accuracy.

A garter spring is a specialized helical spring joined at both ends to form a circular shape, providing uniform radial force in both static and dynamic applications. Rex Consolidated’s garter springs are widely utilized in automotive oil seals and shaft seals to maintain constant pressure against rotating components, preventing leaks and contamination. Available as both extension and compression types, they are critical for maintaining the integrity of transmissions and hydraulic systems under fluctuating temperatures. We manufacture these with precision-joined ends to ensure a seamless, reliable 360-degree seal.

Also known as drawbar springs, our prison springs are a unique form of extension spring designed for safety and high-load compression within a pulling mechanism. The design incorporates a standard compression spring with two U-shaped wire forms inserted through the center, allowing the unit to compress when the ends are pulled apart. This design provides a built-in "stop" to prevent over-extension, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications like marine moorings or security barriers. Rex Consolidated ensures these assemblies are robust enough to handle extreme tension while providing fail-safe operation.

Rex Consolidated’s hose springs are designed to provide structural support and prevent kinking or collapsing in flexible tubing and suction hoses. These springs can be inserted internally to maintain a clear flow path or wrapped externally to protect against abrasion and external pressure in harsh industrial environments. They are essential for fluid and gas handling systems where maintaining the hose's circular geometry is critical for system efficiency. Using corrosion-resistant materials, we manufacture hose springs that ensure durability and consistent flow in automotive cooling and industrial pumping systems.
