A mechanical link (100) comprises a shaft (102). A first mounting interface (108) extends from the first end portion (104) of the shaft (102) and is not movable relative to the shaft (102). A second mounting interface (110) is threadably coupled with the second end portion (106) of the shaft (102). A tubular sleeve (114) circumscribes a portion of the shaft (102) and comprises a slot (116). A pin (112) extends from the shaft (102) and passes through the slot (116). A stop (124) is coupled with the second end portion (106) and fixed to the shaft (102). A washer (126) circumscribes a portion of the shaft (102) between the tubular sleeve (114) and the stop (124). A spring (122) biases the tubular sleeve (114) toward the stop (124). A first jam nut (132) is threadably coupled with the second end portion (106) between the second mounting interface (110) and the stop (124).
