Industrial Clutch Parts (ICP) is strengthening its partnership with WPT Power Corporation. Recently, two members of ICP's sales team, Kayvan & Enric participated in training in Texas to enhance their technical expertise regarding WPT’s mechanical power transmission products. During the week-long session at WPT Power’s headquarters, the team engaged in both theoretical and hands-on training. They focused on Engine Driven Products, including power take-off clutches, industrial clutches, and industrial brakes. As WPT’s leading distributor, ICP recognises the importance of providing responsive and knowledgeable sales and technical support globally. The robust partnership between ICP and WPT ensures a customer-centric approach, allowing for quick resolution of product needs and minimal downtime.

Turbine test cells are used for testing and evaluating the performance, reliability, and safety of gas turbine engines commonly used in aerospace applications. Primarily for commercial and military aircraft, these engines must meet stringent industry standards before being installed in aircraft or other applications. Part of monitoring the tests has to include the ability to start, stop, and govern the engine in real-time from the turbine test cell’s control room.

The Low-Pressure Turbine Test Cell, a key component in this discussion, is designed to simulate turbo fan blade malfunction scenarios. The brake application, a crucial safety measure, is required to stop the fan in a very short time, minimising damage and ensuring maximum safety. The large range of torques and extended braking periods needed to test different products using the same rig further underlines our commitment to safety in testing.

The end-user initially requested a caliper brake or a low inertia style multi-plate brake. However, the application review revealed that the heat calculated in this application made these options unviable. In response, a proven suitable alternative, the Water Cooled Brake 224 (WCB), was proposed for this installation. This solution, a result of the successful partnership between ourselves, Industrial Clutch Parts (ICP) and WPT and is evidence of our commitment to providing the best performance and reliability for our customers.

WPT and ICP’s continual customer success stems from 30 years of partnership. We are one of the most awarded distributorships, tasked with developing the UK market and have moved into supporting WPT products in other European countries.

ICP Ltd understand the responsibility we have to reducing “indirect emissions” through our supply chain.

Scope 3 emissions, also known as “indirect emissions”, encompass all the greenhouse gas emissions associated with an organisation’s activities that occur outside its direct control or ownership. They are most often found in the supply chain and are often most difficult to measure. Effectively addressing Scope 3 emissions is essential for a comprehensive approach to carbon footprint reduction, more sustainable business practices and to be compliant with new regulations.

With our partner Cargo Overseas we have signed to their ‘Just One Tree’ programme. With every booking we make they will plant one tree.

INDUSTRIAL CLUTCH PARTS work with LIBERTY STEEL to provide INVERTER-CONTROLLED BRAKES to prevent “LOAD SWING”

As a manufacturer of large pipes, Liberty Steel has to take extra care to prevent “load swing” when handling particularly long pipe sections at its Hartlepool Works. Such sections can quickly become a hazard if allowed to get out of control, and have to be moved very carefully inside the works by EOT cranes. In particular, the Long Travel crane motion brakes need to be carefully and progressively applied, and traditionally this has always been by means of hydraulic foot pedal-operated drum brakes on their older cranes, which have proved increasingly difficult to maintain.

ICP were able to supply drop-in SIBRE 16” and 19” (Imperial) drum brakes with unique inverter-controlled ELDRO electrohydraulic thrusters by means of a “fly-by-wire” electronic foot pedal, giving very smooth and progressive braking control.

This latest installation is the third such carried out at the site, where this is now the preferred control method, having proven highly reliable. Units are available with either a simple foot-pedal operation, or can even incorporate a programmable pre-set ramp for crane operation by remote control.
