VA-14

Vibration analyser

The VA-14 is a handheld vibration analyser with integrated FFT functionality, combining the key capabilities required for dependable equipment diagnostics and on-site measurements. Its LAN interface supports seamless integration with networked systems, enabling remote command control of the instrument as well as efficient file transfer.

With the optional VX-14S software installed, the VA-14 can be connected to a measurement microphone for sound measurements. This extends its use beyond vibration monitoring to include sound frequency analysis and evaluation within a single, coherent platform.

The VA-14 is well suited to a broad range of applications, from vibration measurements on rotating machinery and motors to condition-based equipment diagnostics and product research and development, where both vibration and acoustic data are essential.

Option programs

VX-14S – Superior Function Program

The VX-14S brings together a range of user-driven enhancements, turning the most requested extensions to the VA-12 into a practical, field-ready solution for sound and vibration professionals.

Precise machine condition assessment with an integrated Peak calculation function.
Reliable sound measurements via microphone connection with preamplifier support.
Improved integration with your systems through LAN/USB communication interfaces.
Long-term vibration monitoring with automatic data storage and extended waveform recording capabilities.

VX-14D - Fault-diagnosis program

The VX-14D provides both absolute value evaluation and fault diagnosis functions when installed on the VA-14.

“Simpler. Smarter. More precise equipment diagnostics.”

With the fault-diagnosis function, wear-related and structural faults can be evaluated simply by placing the accelerometer on the measurement point and pressing start. After the diagnosis, detailed measurement data – including time waveform and FFT spectrum – can be reviewed for further analysis and documentation.

When the evaluation function is enabled, each measured vibration value is automatically classified into four clear condition levels:

A: Good
B: Acceptable
C: Caution
D: Abnormal

Evaluation thresholds can be configured according to ISO 10816-1:1995 or set to user-defined limits, allowing alignment with both international standards and site-specific maintenance strategies.
