In summary, spherical roller bearings are employed in diverse applications across various industries, where their ability to support heavy radial and axial loads, accommodate misalignment, and withstand harsh operating conditions is essential for reliable and efficient machinery performance.

   - 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.
