CoilPad is basically a Magnetic Sticker Actuator. It's just 0.1mm thin, flexible, and sticks to things. Flat or curved, just stick a CoilPad onto any smooth surface, add a magnet, and watch it swing. You can also hack it into the thin buzzer, micro-heater, or metal-detector!
The coil can be stuck on a curved surface, with an 18mm maximum bending radius. The adhesive used on the backside is 3M467. Its cover can be peeled off using a pair of tweezers. Always clean the surface before sticking the actuator, and it is very important to peel off the cover before powering on the coil; otherwise, the adhesive cover might get damaged.
This PCB is ROHS Compliant & follows IPC-A-600 II standard. Please note that the CoilPad is intended to be used as a DIY maker kit. For commercial purposes, please get in touch.
Some other Notes:
- Take caution when using the CoilPad - depending on the application, it might heat up to 100°C. Keep hands away from hot regions to prevent injury.
- The force produced by a CoilPad depends on the mechanical elements of your project, as well as the weight and strength of your magnet.
- For smooth organic motions, we recommend using silicone-insulated wires & the DriveCell's smooth PWM library.
- The magnetic field strength of the CoilPad can be roughly doubled by placing iron or steel underneath it, turning it into a weak electromagnet.
