ABSTRACT:
An aircraft engine mounting assembly using a clevis type joint to connect a link is provided with a mounting pin assembly disposed in an aperture of the link having inexpensive and easily replaceable concentric inner and outer non-rotational bushings surrounding a conventional pin and corresponding oppositely disposed sets of inner flat contact surfaces on the outer surface of inner bushing and outer flat contact surfaces on the inner surface of the outer bushing which provide reduced contact stresses between the pin and the aperture as compared to conventional assemblies. The contact surfaces are in general sliding engagement in the longitudinal direction and are provided with clearances between the inner and outer bushings in the longitudinal and transverse directions to allow for thermal growth of the engine.
