• Supporting its new range of clutches recently introduced on to the UK market, Lipe, a member of the Echlin International Group, has designed a range of product support literature.
An A4 four-page "New Range" brochure provides full technical and application details on the 13/330 single plate; 142LP with high-torque discs and 15/380 single and twin-plate clutches. They are available with both ceramic or organic facings, and clear reference is made to the range of torque applications suitable for each model.
The new clutch range from Lipe, covering applications from 305-1,889Nm (2251,4001bft) torque, has undergone extensive field testing over the past 18 months. The results of the test programme for the 14-2LP and 15/380 models, has been supplied by Lipe on two A4 Fleet Test Data leaflets showing the model of truck, engine and kilometres covered to date with either the 14-2LP or 15/380 Lipe clutch installed.
Lipe has designed an "Engine Clutch Matching Chart" for genuine Lipe re-manufactured clutch packs, available either as an A4 leaflet or an A2 wallchart. It shows at a glance which particular Lipe clutch is compatible with specific Cummins, Perkins, Gardner, Leyland, Detroit Diesel and CAT engines.
To provide fitters with clear reference to fitting and adjusting procedures, Lipe has also produced an Al installation poster for its 14-2LP model, updated to show "New Range" high-torque discs.
