Some of the more fancy machines these days have embedded microphones to tell if a bearing is going to fail soon. They make a distinctive noise based on shaft rpm and bearing diameter when they start to fail, so you know which one to order before you spend a day tearing the machine appart to get at the faulty bearing.
