RION VA-14 Vibration Analyzer

RION VA-14 handheld FFT vibration analyzer for machine condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Measures acceleration, velocity, displacement and crest factor simultaneously, with up to 3,200-line FFT, 110 dB dynamic range and ISO 10816 evaluation.

Overview

The RION VA-14 is a compact, single-channel handheld vibration analyzer built for machine condition monitoring, bearing-fault detection and predictive maintenance on rotating equipment. In Vibration Meter mode it measures acceleration, acceleration peak, crest factor, velocity and displacement simultaneously, so a full picture of machine health is captured in a single measurement. Three measureme…

Key Features

  • Simultaneous measurement of acceleration, acceleration peak, crest factor, velocity and displacement
  • Three modes: Vibration Meter, Time Waveform (with acceleration envelope) and FFT
  • High-resolution FFT up to 3,200 spectral lines, real-time analysis frequency up to 20 kHz
  • TOP10 and PEAK10 functions to auto-identify dominant spectral peaks
  • Wide measurement range up to 110 dB — no manual range switching

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the RION VA-14 vibration analyzer used for?
    The VA-14 is a handheld single-channel vibration analyzer used for machine condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and fault diagnosis on rotating machinery such as motors, pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes. It measures overall vibration levels, captures time waveforms and performs FFT frequency analysis to identify faults like imbalance, misalignment, looseness and bearing defects.
  • What does the VA-14 measure?
    In Vibration Meter mode the VA-14 measures acceleration, acceleration peak, crest factor, velocity and displacement simultaneously. Time Waveform mode adds acceleration, velocity and displacement waveforms plus the acceleration envelope curve, and FFT mode provides frequency-spectrum analysis.
  • What FFT resolution and frequency range does the VA-14 offer?
    The VA-14 provides FFT analysis with up to 3,200 spectral lines and a real-time analysis frequency up to 20 kHz. TOP10 and PEAK10 functions automatically list the most significant spectral peaks, making it easy to isolate bearing, gear-mesh and rotational fault frequencies. The measurement range spans up to 110 dB.
