Abstract
A pitch link for a rotary wing aircraft includes first and second shaft members threadingly engaged with each other. A first rod end is fixedly secured to the first shaft member and a second rod end is rotatably coupled to the second shaft member. First and second spherical bearings are mounted on the first and second rod ends, respectively. A guide member guides the first shaft member for movement in an axial direction of the first shaft with respect to the second shaft while preventing rotation of the first shaft.
