- Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings are designed to primarily support heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads. Their unique design includes barrel-shaped rollers guided by inner and outer ring raceways with a common spherical raceway on the outer ring, allowing them to accommodate misalignment and axial displacement. They are commonly used in applications where heavy radial loads, shock loads, and misalignment are present, such as in heavy machinery, mining equipment, and industrial applications.

Cylindrical roller bearings offer several advantages that make them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. Some of the key advantages of cylindrical roller bearings include:

The primary difference between a thrust ball bearing and a radial ball bearing lies in their design and the direction of the loads they are designed to support:
