Abstract
An aircraft vehicular assembly is provided that includes a nonelastomeric outer tubular member having an inner axial center bore with a tubular cylindrical frictional interface contiguous smooth inner surface segment, and a nonelastomeric inner member having an outer bonding surface segment. The nonelastomeric inner member is rotationally received in the outer member inner axial center bore with the nonelastomeric inner strut member rotatable within said outer member. The assembly includes an elastomer encompassing the nonelastomeric inner strut member outer bonding surface segment. The elastomer has an inner bonding surface segment and an outer grooved elastomer surface, the inner bonding surface segment is bonded to the nonelastomeric inner member outer bonding surface segment. The assembly includes a grease disposed between the outer elastomer surface and the nonelastomeric outer member frictional interface inner surface segment with the greased grooved outer elastomer surface engaging the nonelastomeric outer member frictional interface inner surface segment and inhibiting an oscillating rotation.
