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.

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.
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.

Compatibility references include Apollo 1500, 1550, 15501K, 1600, 1650, 16501K, 3500, and 35001K style swing operator applications when the parts diagram calls for it.
No. It is a mechanical bearing and holder assembly and does not connect to operator voltage.
Yes. Extra friction or misalignment can increase motor load and contribute to drive wear if the mechanical issue is not corrected.
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.
