- Needle Roller Bearings: Needle roller bearings feature cylindrical rollers with a much smaller diameter-to-length ratio compared to cylindrical rollers. This design allows for a higher load-carrying capacity in a compact space, making needle roller bearings suitable for applications with limited radial space.

   - Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings are well-suited for applications where misalignment, heavy radial loads, and moderate axial loads are present. Their ability to accommodate misalignment makes them valuable in applications where shaft deflection or housing misalignment may occur.
