Gibraltar 23050.0106 Female Spherical Washer 6mm Type D

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 23050.0106 is a Type D female spherical washer designed for use with 6mm fasteners in precision bolted assemblies. Manufactured from case hardened steel, this washer provides angular compensation between mating surfaces, correcting up to 3 degrees of misalignment to reduce stress concentrations on fastener heads and clamped components. The spherical seat geometry conforms to DIN 6319 standards, making it a recognized option for mechanical, structural, and industrial maintenance applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with metric fastener assemblies rely on this type of component to ensure proper load distribution and fastener integrity in demanding installations.

This female spherical washer is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where bolt-to-surface angularity is a concern, including machine frames, structural steel connections, and industrial equipment mounting points. It pairs with a corresponding male spherical washer to form a matched set that compensates for angled or uneven bearing surfaces. Typical applications include maintenance and repair of production machinery, conveyor systems, and fabricated steel structures where metric fasteners are specified. The DIN 6319 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with other conforming components across the metric fastener ecosystem.

Key Features

• Type D female spherical washer per DIN 6319 standard for dimensional conformity
• Case hardened steel construction for strength and wear resistance under load
• Corrects up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment between fastener and bearing surface
• Sized for 6mm bolt applications with a 7.1mm inside diameter and 12mm outside diameter
• 2.8mm thickness fits standard metric fastener stack heights
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 5 units per order

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6mm metric bolts in assemblies requiring a DIN 6319 Type D female spherical washer. Pairs with a corresponding DIN 6319 male spherical washer for full angular correction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or mechanical tradespeople following the fastener torque specifications of the parent assembly. Power down and de-energize any machinery before servicing fastener assemblies in live equipment. Ensure the mating male spherical washer seat is clean and free of debris before seating this component. Refer to the equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable industry standards for proper fastener preload requirements.
