Abstract: A pitch link for a rotary wing aircraft includes first and second shaft members threadingly engaged with each other. A first rod end is fixedly secured to the first shaft member and a second rod end is rotatably coupled to the second shaft member. First and second spherical bearings are mounted on the first and second rod ends, respectively. A guide member guides the first shaft member for movement in an axial direction of the first shaft with respect to the second shaft while preventing rotation of the first shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting direct current magnetic flux deflection of an electrical transformer comprising a magnetic detector for generating an output voltage waveform and Fourier series developer connected to the magnetic detector for developing the output voltage waveform from the magnetic detector into a Fourier series. An even number harmonic detector is connected to the Fourier series developer for detecting an even number harmonic in the Fourier series, thereby determining the presence of a direct current magnetic flux deflection. A process for detecting direct current magnetic flux deflection is also disclosed.
