An assembly for providing flexure to a blade of a rotary blade system, the assembly including an upper support plate (22) having an upper curved surface (37), a lower support plate (24) having a lower curved surface (37), and a yoke (120) positioned therebetween. At least one of the upper and lower yoke surfaces (37) having a layer of cushioning material (56) positioned thereon and secured thereto. The layer of cushioning material (56) extending along and following the general contour of yoke surface (37), and the layer of cushioning material (56) directly contacting a support plate (22,24). Another embodiment is an assembly for providing flexure to a blade of a rotary blade system, including, an upper support plate (22) having an upper curved surface (27), a lower support plate (24) having a lower curved surface (37), and a yoke (120) positioned therebetween and directly contacting the support plates wherein one of the curved surfaces (37) is a non-circular arc that does not form part of the circumference of a circle.
