NICE / APOLLO A2009, BUSHING, TOP, LIMIT TOWER
The Nice Apollo A2009 is the top bushing used in the limit tower area of compatible Apollo actuator back-housing assemblies. The bushing helps support and guide the limit tower hardware so the internal limit mechanism can operate smoothly and stay aligned. A worn, cracked, missing, or seized bushing can contribute to binding, erratic limit movement, or premature wear on related limit parts. This is a small service component, but correct fitment is important because the 416/816 actuator limit tower uses several closely related parts that are not interchangeable by appearance alone.
Compatible With
- Apollo 416 swing gate actuators, when the installed actuator uses the matching internal limit/back-housing design
- Apollo 416X swing gate actuators, when confirmed by parts diagram and cable configuration
- Apollo 816 swing gate actuators, including many Apollo 1500, 1550, 1551, and related 816 actuator installations
- Apollo 816X swing gate actuators, when the original part number and rear housing layout match
- Nice Apollo linear actuator back-housing and internal limit tower service assemblies that call for this exact part number

Technician Note
When a bushing is worn, the rest of the tower hardware may also be worn. Inspect the movement of the limit assembly before reusing old bolts, springs, or blocks.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the installed limit tower calls for A2009.
- Check whether the actuator is 416, 416X, 816, or 816X.
- Inspect the limit tower for cracks, binding, or corrosion.
- Review related hardware such as A2005 and A2008.
- Retest gate limits after the actuator is reassembled.
Professional Advisory
Gate operator parts should be installed with the operator powered down and the gate secured against movement. For electrical diagnosis, actuator disassembly, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician. Do not bypass required safety devices or use this service part to defeat UL325 safety functions.
Important Ordering Warning
A2009 is a bushing, not a complete limit tower. If the tower assembly is damaged, additional parts may be required.
Product Questions & Answers
Where is the A2009 bushing used?
It is used at the top of the limit tower area in compatible Apollo actuator internal limit assemblies.
Does this include the limit switch?
No. A2009 is the bushing only and does not include the A2004 proximity switch.
Can a bad bushing affect limit travel?
Yes. If the tower hardware binds or shifts, limit movement can become unreliable.
What should be inspected with this bushing?
Inspect the limit bolt, spring, blocks, switch, and full tower assembly for wear or corrosion.
Is it universal for all Apollo operators?
No. It should be matched to compatible 416/816 style actuator limit assemblies by parts diagram.
