It's important to note that while spherical roller bearings have these potential disadvantages, they are still widely used in various industries due to their ability to support heavy radial and axial loads, accommodate misalignment, and withstand harsh operating conditions. Careful consideration of these factors is essential when selecting bearings for specific applications to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

   - Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Cylindrical roller bearings are used in applications where high radial load-carrying capacity, rigidity, and precision are essential. They are employed in machine tool spindles, electric motors, and industrial equipment where heavy loads and precise motion control are critical.

Angular contact ball bearings are a type of precision bearing designed to support combined radial and axial loads, as well as pure axial loads, in a specific direction. These bearings are engineered with raceways in the inner and outer rings that are designed to accommodate high-speed and high-precision applications, particularly in machinery and equipment where precise positioning and controlled motion are essential.
