The Nice Apollo 72510003 is a gear housing bushing used in compatible Apollo operator assemblies. In a gear housing, the bushing helps maintain alignment and provides a controlled wear surface for the drive components. When this bushing wears out, the operator may develop mechanical play, noise, gear misalignment, or rough movement that places extra stress on the motor and drive train.
This part is best ordered by part number and parts diagram because Apollo operators and actuator assemblies use more than one bushing style. It should not be swapped with the back housing bushing or with flange bearings used on shaft assemblies. Before replacing the bushing, the gear housing, shaft, gear set, seals, and mounting hardware should be checked so a worn adjoining component does not damage the new part.

A worn gear housing bushing is often a symptom of load, alignment, or lubrication problems. Inspect the drive train before assuming the bushing is the only failed part.
Gear housing service may require disassembly of drive components. If you are not familiar with Apollo operator mechanical service, use a qualified gate technician.
Installing the wrong bushing can create misalignment and damage the gear housing or shaft.
It is a gear housing bushing for compatible Apollo gate operator assemblies.
No. 72510001 is a back housing bushing, while 72510003 is for the gear housing location.
Noise, looseness, rough movement, gear misalignment, and repeat mechanical wear can point to bushing issues.
Yes. Check the gear housing, shafts, gears, seals, and gate load before installing the new bushing.
Match the original part number, housing location, and operator parts diagram.
