An elastomeric spherical bearing includes a multiple of shims, at least two of which have different thicknesses. In one exemplary embodiment, each of the shims has a different thickness with a generally equivalent stress on each shim.

Spherical elastomeric bearing with improved shim thickness

An elastomeric spherical bearing includes a multiple of elastomeric layers with an essentially equivalent fatigue life.

Uniform fatigue life spherical elastomeric bearing

An elastomeric spherical bearing includes a multiple of shims, at least two of which have different thicknesses. In one exemplary embodiment, each of the shims has a different thickness with an essentially equivalent stress on each shim.
