The Wacker Neuson Compression Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the RCE-20/230, RCE-20/120, and RCE-20/115 series rebar cutters. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original component installed at the factory. Whether you're performing a scheduled service or replacing a fatigued spring, part restores correct tension and blade return action to your rebar cutter. Confirmed fitment covers all three RCE-20 variants listed above, so you can order with confidence.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Rate: — Engineered to the correct load and deflection spec for the RCE-20 cutting mechanism, ensuring consistent blade return force with every cut.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting dimensions and coil geometry, allowing straightforward installation without reworking surrounding components.
- Broad RCE-20 Series Coverage: — Fits the RCE-20/230, RCE-20/120, and RCE-20/115 rebar cutters, covering 230V, 120V, and GB-spec models in a single part number.
- Restores Positive Blade Return: — A correctly tensioned compression spring snaps the cutting jaw back to its open position cleanly, maintaining cutting speed and operator rhythm on the bar.
- Fatigue-Resistant Construction: — Built to withstand the repetitive compression cycles typical in rebar cutting work, resisting the permanent set that causes sluggish or incomplete blade return.
A compression spring in a rebar cutter provides the return force that pushes the cutting blade or jaw back to its open position after each cut. Without adequate spring tension, the jaw fails to reset fully between strokes, slowing cycle time and placing extra strain on the operator and drive mechanism. When a compression spring weakens or takes a permanent set — meaning it no longer returns to its original length — cuts become inconsistent and the cutter may require manual assistance to reset, signaling that replacement is due.
