Abstract
A three directional load reacting mount connects first and second members together through a plain, self aligning ball bearing. An axial member extends through the ball of the bearing. An axial force on one of the members is not transmitted to the other through the bearing but at an axial load bearing element offset from the bearing. The offset is in the direction of a supporting structure connected to the other member thereby reducing the moment transmitted to the supporting structure from the axial force.
