Nice Apollo XBA10 Breakaway Bracket for XBA14 and XBA15 Barrier Arms
The Nice Apollo XBA10 is a breakaway bracket for compatible Nice XBA barrier arm assemblies. It is used where the arm connection needs a pivoting breakaway function rather than a fixed arm mount, helping reduce damage when the arm is struck within the limits of the approved system design.
XBA10 is most often selected for XBA14 or XBA15 aluminum arms in M-BAR and L-BAR style barrier installations. It should not be confused with XBA11 low-headroom articulation hardware. The breakaway bracket, arm section, operator model, arm length, and spring balance must be matched together for reliable service.

Technician Note
After a barrier arm impact, inspect more than the bracket. The arm extrusion, operator output shaft, spring, gearbox, and cabinet mounting can also be damaged even when the breakaway bracket did its job.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the system uses a compatible XBA14 or XBA15 arm.
- Verify the total arm length is within the approved XBA10 rating.
- Check whether the job needs breakaway hardware or low-headroom folding hardware instead.
- Inspect the arm mount, spring balance, and operator head for damage after any impact.
- Do not reuse bent or cracked arm sections with a new breakaway bracket.
Important Ordering Warnings
XBA10 is a breakaway bracket, not a safety device. Vehicle detection, monitored safety devices, warning signage, and proper traffic layout still need to be maintained.
Professional Advisory
Barrier gate operators and slide gate operators can move heavy hardware and may include monitored safety devices, springs, drive components, and line-voltage wiring. For electrical diagnosis, unstable arm movement, damaged gate hardware, or missing safety protection, use a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions and Answers
What arms does XBA10 work with?
XBA10 is commonly listed for XBA14 and XBA15 aluminum barrier arms in compatible Nice Apollo barrier systems.
What is the maximum arm length for XBA10?
Listings commonly reference a maximum arm length of about 13 ft 7 in / 4 m, but the complete operator and arm setup should be checked.
Is XBA10 the same as XBA11?
No. XBA10 is a breakaway or pivoting bracket. XBA11 is a low-headroom articulating bracket for folding arm applications.
Should I replace XBA10 after an arm strike?
If the bracket, arm, or mount is bent, cracked, loose, or no longer pivots correctly, replacement and full inspection are recommended.
Does XBA10 include the aluminum arm?
No. XBA10 is the bracket only unless a supplier package specifically includes arm sections or additional hardware.
