Ventilatoren und Radialverdichtern von FIMA

Fans and Radial Compressors from FIMA

FIMA trusts vibration sensors from HAUBER-Elektronik – especially in hazardous areas

FIMA Maschinenbau GmbH is a Future Champion in explosion-protected fans and radial compressors for low flow rates, used as process-gas or fresh-air compressors in the chemical and petrochemical industries. High safety and quality standards are essential here, particularly for machine protection and availability.

Vibration sensors from HAUBER-Elektronik provide reliable machine protection and high availability by measuring vibration and detecting imbalance at an early stage. These sensors are certified for potentially explosive atmospheres and offer solutions with intrinsic safety and flameproof enclosure protection.

  • FIMA machine 1
  • FIMA machine 2

  • Typical applications:

    • Hermetically sealed fans and compressors
    • Explosion-protected fans

The challenge: protecting machinery and the environment

Vibration caused by rotating forces, such as imbalance, constraint forces resulting from misalignment and changes in the foundation, and shock excitation caused by bearing damage is transmitted through the bearings.

Bearing housings are therefore preferred measuring points for measuring vibration and identifying and monitoring its causes, such as:

  • Imbalance
  • Misalignment
  • Defective drive belts
  • Bearing damage
  • Gear and gear-tooth faults
  • Electrical faults in the motor

The objective: what do we want to achieve?

  • Higher plant availability
  • Lower maintenance costs through early detection of developing damage
  • Longer machine service life

→ Ultimately: maximum benefit for customers and increased competitiveness

Boris Fritz, FIMA

“Vibration sensors from HAUBER-Elektronik stand out not only for their measurement accuracy and reproducibility, but also for their high material and manufacturing quality. In addition, HAUBER-Elektronik solutions hold a leading position in hazardous-area applications.

At FIMA, we look forward to continuing our long-standing business relationship and are also following new developments with interest.”

Technical implementation

Installation schematic

Machine vibration is transmitted to the bearings.

Here, the bearing subjected to the highest load is monitored. The vibration sensor is mounted at the impeller bearing.

FIMA installation schematic

Measuring and monitoring vibration

The measured vibration velocity values are transmitted to the machine control system via the analogue output.

Limit values according to DIN/ISO 1816‑3 are used to identify critical conditions and initiate corrective action.

Sensor installation guidance

The sensors are securely mounted at the measuring points using M8 threads. Depending on the existing tapped holes, adapters with alternative thread sizes or adhesive mounting adapters can be used.
