According to one embodiment, a rotor system comprises a yoke, a grip, an elastomeric bearing, and a bearing restraint. The grip is positioned around a portion of the yoke and has both a closed end and an open end. The elastomeric bearing is coupled to the closed end of the grip and located between the closed end and the yoke. The bearing restraint is coupled to the grip between the yoke and the open end at a distance from the closed end such that the yoke contacts the bearing restraint when the rotor system is subject to a first centrifugal force but does not contact the bearing restraint when the rotor system is subject to a second centrifugal force greater than the first centrifugal force.
