摘要： An apparatus for reducing clearances within a flexible joint gimbal system. The apparatus comprises a washer having a centrally located hole. The washer includes a cylindrical side, wherein the cylindrical side is shaped to contact a side of a ring of the gimbal when the washer is located between a clevis of a gimbal and the ring. The washer further includes a spherical side, wherein the spherical side has a shape that enables the clevis to rotate with respect to the ring about an axis extending centrally through the hole in the washer when the washer is located between the clevis and the ring.
