- Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings have barrel-shaped rolling elements (spherical rollers) that are positioned between an inner ring with two raceways and an outer ring with a common spherical raceway. This design allows the bearing to accommodate misalignment and axial displacement.

   - Taper Roller Bearings: Taper roller bearings are not designed to accommodate misalignment to the same extent as spherical roller bearings. They are more suitable for applications where precise axial and radial load support is required without significant misalignment.
