A rotor assembly for a rotary wing aircraft includes a rotor hub, a rotor blade coupling coupled to the rotor hub, a hub extender coupled to the rotor hub, and a first bearing assembly. The first bearing assembly includes a clevis coupled to the hub extender and including two arms, each arm including a clevis opening, two cylindrical bearings, each cylindrical bearing extending through one of the clevis openings, a spherical bearing positioned between the two arms and coupled to the rotor blade coupling, and a first pin extending through the two cylindrical bearings and the spherical bearing.
