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 designed to accommodate misalignment and shaft deflection, making them suitable for applications where alignment issues are common or where the bearing may be subjected to dynamic or oscillating loads.
