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:

   - Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Cylindrical roller bearings are optimized for high radial load-carrying capacity and are suitable for applications where precise radial load support is required, such as in electric motors, pumps, and gearboxes. They are less effective in accommodating misalignment compared to spherical roller bearings.

   - Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Cylindrical roller bearings are also capable of supporting heavy radial loads, making them suitable for applications where high load-carrying capacity and rigidity are required, such as in machine tool spindles, electric motors, and industrial machinery.
