Nice Apollo SPAMG092A00 Spring Kit for M7BAR Barrier Arm Operators
The Nice Apollo SPAMG092A00 spring kit is a dedicated counterbalance spring assembly for the M7BAR barrier operator. The M7BAR is used with longer/heavier barrier arms than the smaller M3BAR and M5BAR configurations, so its spring requirements are different. The spring helps carry the arm weight during opening and closing, reducing mechanical strain on the motor, gearbox, and control system. When the spring weakens, breaks, or is set incorrectly, the operator can struggle, run unevenly, or become difficult to move manually. Always confirm the installed arm length and accessories before replacing or adjusting the spring.
Common replacement indicators include a broken spring, heavy arm movement, poor balance, arm drift, harsh stops, slow travel, or a motor/gearbox that appears to be working harder than normal.

Technician Note
After spring replacement, test the arm balance manually according to the M7BAR manual before running full automatic cycles. A properly balanced arm should not feel excessively heavy or drift aggressively when released under controlled service conditions.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator is M7BAR or M7BAR/V1.
- Match the original spring kit number to SPAMG092A00.
- Verify arm length, expansion sections, lights, rubber edge, and reflectors.
- Review the balance chart and spring attachment position.
- Do not use M3BAR/M5BAR or LBAR spring kits as substitutes.
Professional Advisory
M7BAR spring service involves stored mechanical energy. Support the barrier arm and follow manufacturer service procedures, or use a qualified gate technician for spring replacement and balance adjustment.
Important Ordering Warnings
Incorrect spring selection or adjustment can cause unsafe arm movement and premature drive wear. Match the spring to M7BAR configuration, not only to arm appearance.
Product Questions & Answers
What operator is SPAMG092A00 for?
SPAMG092A00 is commonly listed for the Nice Apollo M7BAR barrier arm operator family.
Can I use SPAMG092A00 on M3BAR or M5BAR?
No. M3BAR and M5BAR commonly use SPAMG091A00, so do not substitute unless factory documentation specifically allows it.
Can I use this spring on LBAR?
No. LBAR commonly uses SPAMG093A00 and has different counterbalance requirements.
Why is spring balance important?
Proper spring balance reduces motor and gearbox load and helps the arm open and close smoothly.
Should accessories be considered when selecting the spring?
Yes. Lights, rubber impact strips, reflectors, and arm extensions can change the weight and balance requirements.
