Abstract
An elastomeric bearing has a first end interface, a second end interface, an activation element disposed between the first end interface and the second end interface, and a clutch component disposed between the activation element and the second end interface. A method of operating an elastomeric bearing includes providing a first end interface, providing a second end interface, providing an activation component between the first end interface and the second end interface, providing a clutch component between the activation component and the second end interface, and rotating the first end interface relative to the second interface to cause rotation of the clutch component relative to the second end interface.
