An aircraft rotor assembly has a yoke with at least two arms extending therefrom. The yoke is attached to a mast through a constant-velocity joint, thereby permitting axial tilt of the yoke relative to the mast. Each arm of the yoke includes an axisymmetric elastomeric bearing with a spherical central member and two opposite partially-spherical members attached to the central member. Each axisymmetric bearing cooperates with a cup and a bracket. Each cup is attached to one of the yoke arms and each bracket is attached to a blade cuff.
