An actuator which cools on one side and heats on the other side. Requires a GlobalAdapter-1210 and a SwitchPower or the Drive-FR120N to switch power on/off to the actuator. Heatsink included.
Warning: the hot side gets hotter than your skin likes !
Application examples
- Cool down or heat up an object.
- Give feedback to objects if a visitor touches them (detect the touch with Touch sensor).

Application notes |
- Warning: the hot side gets hotter than your skin likes !
- Requires a separate 12V power supply such as the GlobalAdapter-1201 which can be switched with the SwitchPower or the Drive-FR120N.
- See below picture how to use the heatsink to dissipate the generated heat from one side (and/or cold from the other side) more quickly and prevent the heat from one side to also heat the other side. In addition, mount a fan such as the Vent on the heatsink to get rid of the heat faster.
