Gibraltar 23050.0108 Female Spherical Washer 8mm Type D

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 23050.0108 is a Type D female spherical washer designed for use with 8mm bolts in metric fastener assemblies. Manufactured from case hardened steel, this washer provides a self-aligning bearing surface that compensates for angular misalignment between mating fastener components. It conforms to DIN 6319 standard, making it a direct fit for applications requiring that specification. The female inside diameter measures 9.6mm, the outside diameter measures 17mm, and the washer thickness is 3.5mm. Maximum angular correction is 3 degrees. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians install this component in mechanical assemblies where precise load distribution across bolt joints is required.

This washer is suited for use in mechanical, structural, and industrial maintenance applications where bolt joints must accommodate slight angular deviation between clamped surfaces. It is commonly installed in equipment assemblies, conveyor systems, structural connections, and fabricated machine frames where DIN 6319 Type D spherical washers are specified. The female spherical washer is paired with a corresponding male spherical washer to form a matched set that distributes clamping load evenly and reduces stress concentration at the bolt hole.

Key Features

• Type D female spherical washer per DIN 6319 standard
• Case hardened steel construction for durability under load
• Compensates for up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment
• Metric sizing for 8mm bolt applications
• 9.6mm female inside diameter, 17mm outside diameter, 3.5mm thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for metric fastener assemblies requiring a DIN 6319 Type D female spherical washer sized for 8mm bolts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or millwrights as part of bolted joint assembly. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before disassembling or assembling fastener joints. Pair this female spherical washer with the appropriate male spherical washer per DIN 6319 for proper load distribution. Torque fasteners according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications for the applicable bolt grade and size.
