- Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Cylindrical roller bearings are used in applications where high radial load-carrying capacity, rigidity, and precision are essential, such as in machine tool spindles, electric motors, and industrial equipment.

According to the researchers, the new bearings are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, high loads, and corrosive environments, while also offering reduced friction and improved efficiency. The technology could be particularly useful in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial sector, where bearings are critical components in many manufacturing processes.

It's important to note that while thrust ball bearings have these limitations, they are still valuable components in many applications where axial load support is the primary requirement. Understanding these disadvantages allows engineers and designers to make informed decisions when selecting bearings for specific applications, ensuring that the chosen bearings align with the operational demands and load conditions.
