System of analog and digital signal-processing equipment, computers, and programs detects faults in ball bearings in turbomachines. System operates in real time, extracting information from vibrations sensed by accelerometers, strain gauges, and/or acoustical sensors. Vibrations caused when pits in balls contact races, and pits in races contact balls.
