The deep groove design is particularly advantageous for radial loads, as it enables the bearing to support forces that act perpendicular to the shaft's axis. Additionally, the deep groove configuration allows the bearing to accommodate some degree of axial load, although axial load capacity is typically lower than radial load capacity in deep groove ball bearings.

   - Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings are specifically engineered to accommodate misalignment, making them valuable in applications where shaft deflection or housing misalignment may occur. This feature allows them to maintain performance in challenging operating conditions.
