Vibration analysis equipment catches bearing wear and rotor unbalance in rotating machinery before failure happens. Yellotec supplies the full range of vibration instruments to South African plants and mines.
Portable analysers handle route-based measurement. Online monitoring systems give 24/7 surveillance for critical machinery. ANURA Field Kits suit high-precision diagnostic work. Sensors and accelerometers come from PRÜFTECHNIK and Fluke Reliability, with wireless options from ReVibe Energy. Balancing solutions close the loop on what the analysis uncovers.
Our guide on portable vs online vibration instruments walks through the equipment choice. Engineers ready to advance their analysis can compare our ISO Category I and II training courses.
A first vibration analysis setup pairs a portable analyser with one or more accelerometers to pick up the signal at each bearing position. Software stores and trends the readings between measurement runs. Yellotec packages this as the ANURA Field Kit, which bundles the analyser and sensors with all the cabling needed for site work. The matching ISO Category I training course teaches you how to interpret what the kit shows you.
For beginners running first measurements on a defined route, a single-channel or dual-channel handheld analyser is the right starting point. It covers the core fault types (unbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing defects) without the complexity of multi-channel diagnostic instruments. The VIBXPERT 3 Balancer and the ANURA Field Kit both work for this role. The choice usually comes down to whether balancing capability needs to be built into the same unit.

Vibration analysis equipment pricing depends on how many measurement channels you need and whether you go portable or permanently installed. A handheld single-channel analyser sits at the entry level. Multi-channel diagnostic instruments and full online monitoring systems sit at the upper end, and the sensors that feed online systems are priced per measurement point.
