The pitch link is a solid corrosion resistant steel rod, two clevises, and a universal
bearing assembly. The pitch link may be adjusted to correct out-of-track and autorotation
rotor R.P.M. It transmits movement from the driven assembly of the swashplate, to the
main rotor hub pitch horns to regulate the pitch angle of the main rotor blades. The
pitch links are repairable by replacement of the universal bearing and/or clevises. A
lubrication fitting is provided in upper end of link and should be lubricated at scheduled
intervals.
