What's Included

The VA-14 is a highly advanced single-channel vibration analyzer equipped with a high-resolution color display and a durable, shock-resistant housing. With an expansive measurement range of up to 110 dB, there is no need to adjust the input range during use. The analyzer offers three distinct modes of operation: Vibration Meter Mode, Time Waveform Mode, and FFT Mode.

In Vibration Meter Mode, the VA-14 allows for the simultaneous measurement of acceleration, acceleration peak, crest factor, velocity, and displacement.

The Time Waveform Mode operates similarly to an oscilloscope, displaying acceleration waveforms, velocity, displacement, and acceleration envelope curves.

In FFT Mode, the VA-14 excels in detecting bearing faults by analyzing the acceleration envelope. This mode displays acceleration, velocity, and displacement with up to 3,200 spectral lines, offering high-frequency resolution that allows for the detection of vibrations in narrow frequency bands. Additionally, a list display feature provides a visual representation of the highest measured values across specific frequency bands. Previously recorded FFT data can be loaded and compared alongside current measurements in an overlay graph, enabling easy comparison of data before and after corrective actions have been taken.

Data is stored on an SD card inserted into the analyzer, allowing for seamless transfer of measured data into Excel.

Each VA-14 includes:

  • PV-57I Piezoelectric Accelerometer
  • VP-51KI Curled accelerometer cable 
  • VP-53S Magnet attachment 
  • Size AA alkaline battery (x8)
  • SD Card
  • USB Cable
  • Carrying Case
  • Hand Strap

Options

The VA-14 is built to be expandable and upgradable, providing users with a comprehensive measurement tool for many years ahead. Each unit includes Rion’s 18-month warranty. All program options are designed for easy installation through Rion’s streamlined installation process, which is both quick and user-friendly. Each option is pre-installed on SD cards, enabling users to independently install the software by inserting the SD card into the instrument and following the installation procedure.

VX-14S Superior Function Program Option

When installed, the superior function program enables the VA-14 to transform into an FFT sound analyzer by connecting a measurement microphone. It also supports the logging of both instantaneous and calculated vibration data over extended periods, allowing for the measurement of time-based changes. The program supports waveform data recording in .WAV format, which can be further analyzed with the Waveform Analysis Software AS-70 for detailed post-processing. Additionally, it offers enhanced communication capabilities via USB or LAN for data transfer, making it especially useful for creating custom evaluation programs for vibration data measured by the VA-14.
