NICE / APOLLO SPBAR0001 Bar Support Arm Hub Kit for M-Bar and L-Bar Operators
The Nice Apollo SPBAR0001 bar support kit is the arm hub assembly used at the barrier chassis to hold and drive the boom arm on compatible M-Bar and L-Bar operators. The hub connection takes repeated movement, wind load, vibration, and impact stress, so worn pins or a damaged hub can cause the arm to wobble, sit crooked, or fail to move smoothly. Common listings describe this kit as including the hub, cover, drive pins, and attachment hardware. It is most often used when repairing the arm mounting point after impact damage or when refreshing the arm support hardware during barrier service. Since Nice barrier arms, hubs, and mounting plates vary by operator and arm style, confirm the parts diagram before ordering.

Technician Note
After impact damage, do not replace only the hub without checking the boom arm, mounting plate, cabinet, balance springs, and limit setup. A bent arm or loose spring can quickly damage a new hub kit.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the operator is an M-Bar or L-Bar model using SPBAR0001.
- Verify the arm profile and mounting style.
- Inspect the boom arm for cracks or bending.
- Check spring balance and arm stopping position after installation.
- Replace damaged fasteners instead of reusing impact-stressed hardware.
Professional Advisory
Barrier arm support repairs should be tested with the lane clear and all covers secured. If the arm drops, binds, or moves unevenly, take the operator out of service until corrected.
Important Ordering Warnings
- This is not the boom arm. Order the correct aluminum bar separately if the arm itself is damaged.
Product Questions & Answers
What is included with SPBAR0001?
SPBAR0001 is commonly listed as an arm hub or bar support kit that includes the hub, cover, drive pins, and hardware to attach the barrier arm to the chassis.
Which barrier operators use SPBAR0001?
It is commonly associated with Nice M-Bar and L-Bar barrier operators, including M5BAR, M7BAR, and LBAR style arm mounting applications where specified.
Is this the same as a barrier arm?
No. This is the support/hub hardware for mounting the arm, not the aluminum boom arm itself.
When should the bar support kit be replaced?
Replacement may be needed after impact, loose arm movement, worn drive pins, damaged hub parts, or service where the arm connection no longer holds properly.
Does arm balance matter after installation?
Yes. The barrier arm, spring, hub, and limit setup should be checked together after the support kit is replaced.
