Systems and methods are presented herein for an interface that reduces loads transferred across the interface, wherein the interface couples a pair of independently actuated rotating shafts. A first tapered bearing is coupled to a first rotating shaft. A second tapered bearing is coupled to a second rotating shaft. A central bearing is arranged between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are preloaded against each other through the central bearing. The central bearing enables the forces generated by one rotating shaft to oppose and cancel out the forces generated by the second rotating shaft.
