The deep groove ball bearing serves several essential functions in mechanical systems, making it a versatile and widely used component in various applications. Here are the key functions of a deep groove ball bearing:

The disadvantage of thrust ball bearings primarily lies in their limited ability to accommodate radial loads and bidirectional axial loads. Here are some specific drawbacks associated with thrust ball bearings:

   - They have raceways that are parallel to the bearing axis, allowing them to effectively support radial loads and provide smooth and efficient rotation of shafts and components.

   - Ball Bearing: Ball bearings, including deep groove ball bearings, utilize spherical balls as rolling elements that move between inner and outer raceways. They are primarily designed to support radial loads, with some designs capable of handling limited axial loads. Ball bearings are commonly used in applications where smooth and efficient rotation is required, such as in electric motors, pumps, and gearboxes.
