Gibraltar 23050.0208 Female Spherical Washer 8mm Type G

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 23050.0208 is a Type G female spherical washer designed for use with 8mm metric bolts. Manufactured from case hardened steel, this washer provides a self-aligning bearing surface that compensates for angular misalignment between mating components. It features a 9.6mm female inside diameter, a 24mm female outside diameter, and a 5mm thickness. The spherical seat allows up to 3 degrees of correction, making it suitable for applications where bolt axes are not perfectly perpendicular to the mounting surface. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with precision fastener assemblies are the typical installers.

This washer is used in industrial, mechanical, and structural fastening applications where angular misalignment must be accommodated without imposing bending stress on the bolt shank. Common install scenarios include machinery mounts, structural connections, and equipment frames where surface irregularities or fabrication tolerances create angular offset. The metric sizing and DIN 6319 standard make this washer compatible with metric fastener systems used across manufacturing, construction, and heavy equipment maintenance.

Key Features

• Type G female spherical washer per DIN 6319 standard
• Compensates up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment
• Case hardened steel construction for durability under load
• 9.6mm female inside diameter fits 8mm metric bolts
• 24mm female outside diameter with 5mm thickness
• Metric system of measurement for compatibility with metric fastener assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for metric fastener assemblies requiring DIN 6319 Type G female spherical washers sized for 8mm bolts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians working with metric fastener systems. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastener assemblies. Pair with a matching Type D convex spherical washer per DIN 6319 for a complete self-aligning washer set. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for the fastener size and grade in use.
