NICE / APOLLO SPTA16002, SPARE PART, BEARING & HOLDER,
The NICE Apollo SPTA16002 is a replacement bearing and holder assembly used in select Apollo swing gate operator mechanical assemblies. Bearings and holders support movement and alignment inside the drive or actuator mechanism. When they wear, crack, loosen, or become contaminated, the operator may develop noise, rough travel, excess play, uneven movement, or added load on the motor and gears.
Because this is a small mechanical support part, exact fitment depends on the operator family and the location of the bearing within the assembly. Public compatibility references associate SPTA16002 with several Apollo swing operator models, including 1500/1550, 1600/1650, and 3500 series references. It should not be treated as a universal bearing for every Apollo arm or gate operator. Before ordering, compare the old holder shape, bearing size, mounting points, and parts diagram. A worn bearing may also indicate water intrusion, lack of alignment, or a gate that is placing too much side load on the actuator.

Technician Note
Noise or rough travel after bearing replacement usually points to a related mechanical issue. Check alignment, arm pivot points, mounting brackets, and gate swing condition so the bearing is not carrying abnormal load.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the operator model and parts diagram list SPTA16002
- Compare bearing diameter, holder shape, and mounting points with the removed part
- Inspect nearby gears, pins, bushings, and brackets for wear
- Check the gate for sagging, binding, or misalignment
- Do not use this part for Titan or barrier operator assemblies unless specifically listed
Professional Advisory
Mechanical service on a gate operator should be performed with the gate secured and the operator disabled. If the gate is heavy, sagging, or unsafe to move by hand, have a qualified technician correct the gate hardware before replacing operator parts.
Product Questions & Answers
What is SPTA16002?
SPTA16002 is a bearing and holder assembly used as a mechanical replacement part in select Apollo swing gate operator assemblies.
Which Apollo models is it commonly associated with?
Compatibility references include Apollo 1500, 1550, 15501K, 1600, 1650, 16501K, 3500, and 35001K style swing operator applications when the parts diagram calls for it.
Does this part have a voltage rating?
No. It is a mechanical bearing and holder assembly and does not connect to operator voltage.
Can a worn bearing damage the motor?
Yes. Extra friction or misalignment can increase motor load and contribute to drive wear if the mechanical issue is not corrected.
Should I replace only the bearing holder if the gate is sagging?
No. A sagging or binding gate should be repaired at the hinge or gate hardware first. Operator parts should not be used to compensate for a bad gate swing.
