Abstract
A magnetically actuated proximity switch is provided with a double-pole double-throw contact arrangement. To substantially equalize the contact pressures between the two poles a movable armature, to which the movable contacts are firmly attached, is loosely pivoted to rotate about a transverse axis to open or close the contacts and to rock about a longitudinal axis to divide the available operating force between the two poles of the switch.
