A tiltrotor includes a plurality of blades that are circumferentially offset from one another. The tiltrotor also includes a pitch mechanism configured to cause the blades to pitch from a first blade pitch to a second blade pitch. The pitch mechanism includes a pitch actuator configured to move from a first pitch actuator position to a second pitch actuator position. The pitch mechanism also includes a link coupled to the pitch actuator. The link is configured to transfer movement from the pitch actuator to the blades to thereby cause the blades to actuate from the first blade pitch to the second blade pitch in response to the pitch actuator moving from the first pitch actuator position to the second pitch actuator position. The link includes a first link portion, a second link portion, and a joint therebetween.
