NICE / APOLLO 446, BOLT ON PIVOT BRACKET FOR 816 OR 912L ACTUATORS
The Nice Apollo 446 bolt-on pivot bracket is a mounting hardware part used to create the rear pivot point for compatible Apollo linear actuator swing gate systems. On a swing gate operator, the bracket position controls actuator geometry, opening angle, mechanical leverage, and load on the post. If the wrong bracket is used or the bracket is mounted in the wrong location, the gate may bind, short-stroke, over-travel, or place excessive stress on the actuator tube. The 446 is commonly associated with 416, 816, and 912L actuator families, including several Apollo 1500/1600, 1550/1650, and Titan applications. Because many older installations have modified brackets, do not order by appearance alone.

Technician Note
Bracket geometry is critical on swing gate operators. If the original mounting was modified or the gate does not swing freely by hand, have the installation checked before replacing the bracket.
Before Ordering
- Confirm actuator model before ordering
- Compare existing bracket style and mounting pattern
- Check post size and condition
- Verify bracket setback and pivot geometry from the manual
- Inspect gate hinges and stops before reconnecting the actuator
Professional Advisory
Disconnect power and secure the gate before servicing mechanical or electrical gate operator parts. Use a qualified gate technician for unsafe conditions or line-voltage work.
Product Questions and Answers
Which actuators commonly use the Apollo 446 bracket?
The 446 bolt-on pivot bracket is commonly listed for Nice Apollo 416, 816, and 912L actuator applications and related Apollo 1500/1600, 1550/1650, and Titan style systems.
Is the 446 bracket weld-on or bolt-on?
The 446 is a bolt-on pivot bracket. It is used where the installation calls for a bolt-on pivot point rather than a welded bracket.
Can the 446 bracket fit a 5 x 5 post?
Some listings reference use for secure attachment to 5 x 5 square posts, but the actual post, bracket geometry, and hardware must be checked at the site.
Is 446 the same as 1116?
No. The 446 is a bolt-on pivot bracket, while 1116 is commonly referenced as a pivot arm used with 816 actuator assemblies.
What matters most before ordering this bracket?
Confirm actuator model, post size, bracket setback, pivot geometry, existing bracket type, and whether the installation uses a bolt-on or weld-on mounting arrangement.
