A spherical plain bearing assembly (300) includes a flexible cylindrical inner member (312A) having a spherical outer surface (315), an annular inner surface (325), a first diameter D1, and a bore extending therethrough. A slit (330) extends axially through the inner member (312A) whereby it resiliently expands in a radial direction defining a second diameter D2 greater than the first diameter D1. The inner member (312A) is positioned within an outer member (314) such that the spherical outer surface (315) of the inner member (312A) slidably and rotatably engages an inner engagement surface (316) of the outer member (314) wherein a substantially constant torque is maintained. |
